I own a sexy, skinny British boat and a fat American rec boat that is almost a yard wide. Its more fun to use the rec boat. Its fat and ugly but sooner or later we all end up that way. My kids like to flip it and use it as a diving platform while it sulks in the lake. The deer don't mind seeing it. They blink and stamp their feet. The dragonflies rest on the front. My cooler rests on the back. I sit in the middle. Its all about balance. Zen has been established.
