Re: [Paddlewise] "My Boat" survey finishing up

OK, just this once.  I have a Mariner II with a custome seat replacing
the sliding seat.  I have had this boat 11 years now, and have taken
some nice trips in it, one to Russia via the Bering Straits.  For
that trip I managed to cram 36 days worth of supplies into the boat--
with only a sleeping pad on the stern deck.  I still use this boat
for trips, because it's fast and seaworthy and has quite a bit more
capacity than my newer

Romany Expedition.  This is more maneuverable than the Mariner, but
weathercocks more, so that the skeg is sometimes welcome, and is a
little slower. It is a little easier to roll than the Mariner (the
Mariner is also quite easy to roll).  It is
the boat I take on shorter trips, where I'm more likely to be exploring
all the nooks and crannies along the shore, or where I'm more likely
to experience strong currents or other rough conditions.
