I'm casually shopping for a new, fast, boat.  I put the blurb, and ad, from
my favorite prospect up at http://www.imaginelan.com/aleut/twogood_mako.html

21'2" (645cm) with a 14.5"(37cm) waterline.  Yeehaw.

With 2 small kids I'm having a tough time finding the boat time to justify
adding to the current fleet.  Finding a used one has been tough (I 
know of 2 in New England).  Should anyone know of a Twogood Mako for sale in 
the Northeastern USA, I would be whole lot more likely to get another 
boat this season....
