Anyone use one of these as a tender? How do they row, sail, motor, tow (protected waters of course)?
Thanks!

I have one. bought it with a hole in the side of it for $100.00. Came with CB,
Rudder, and everything to be able to sail it in a nice
canvas bag.
I have rebuilt the
boat a number of times. Sailed it only a few times and like the
boat a lot. Have towed it and or lifted it up on the bow of my
Morgan. It weighs in at approx. 100#.
At one time had a 4hp
2 stroke that would plane 2 people.
I put a removable seat (I take it out if I'm to tow it)in the center from around CB box to the bow box and have 2 sets of oar locks. The forward locks I use if someone is riding in the stern. the rear locks are for one person rowing.
I have heard nothing but good things about the boat.
Got picture of it but you would have to e mail or a personal message to get them to you.
Best of luck with it.
