We inspected the boat when it was for sale. The most telling comment is one made by my wife as we rowed away. She said "I want you to build that boat".
Can't argue with that.
The ramp is cool, my only concern would be whether it would get hammered in big waves.
Also the next boat I want a nice rowing dinghy not a bloody inflatable and out board.
