Yes, its true. The cape horn 24' will be mine. Someday, when the kiddies come, I may downsize back to a Nantucket, but I am heading offshore.No complaints or sour grapes about Whalers. The experience has been positive, and I will likely own another one in the future. If I don't get what I am looking for in price, I may keep her. Love that Nantucket though. Not pressured to sell it, but don't want to neglect it either. Worst thing for a boat is to sit without somebody to love it...tear, tear, sniff,sniff...and she does deserve a good home. TG_190 |

TG_190,Best of luck with the Cape Horn. I know your decision was not a hasty one. You've done your homework, you've test driven many boats, and you've chosen a proven blue water boat. Your Nantucket is a great boat but a smart captain knows that she is not the best match for your future fishing intentions. Call me when your ready to head out to the Canyon. Ron |

Ron,Thanks for the cudos. I ain't running right out to the continental shelf just yet...but soon. Plenty of stuff on the inshore (<60mi) humps, lumps, holes and wrecks to work with till the YFTs are in heavy in the Hudson. Regards, TG_190 |
