Eric,
Probably out. My first boating love is sailing. Friends of mine from Canada, living in Atanta, owned a really nice CS30 (Canadian sailboat). After my wife and I came back from a month's vacation in New England, NB and Nova Scotia last month, I bought their vessel.
I had considered both models of the R25, the R27 and the R29, but was unable to make a deal. Didn't want to buy another towing rig (my LandCruiser won't tow a R25), so I had considered leaving a new Ranger on the TN River. But, that would leave me without a boat at home, where I live on the water. The CS30 gives me a boat at home, along with the R21EC. I don't need two boats here, nor do I need two slip fees, insurance, maintenance, etc. 🙁 And, the R21EC doesn't really fit my requirements for a boat that I'd keep some distance away (the TN River) and spend several days at time on, ie. use as a weekend/vacation home.
Dave, thanks for the compliment. 🙂
