Thanks Garth. Steady hand, Garden of Edien is a great boat for that
money. I looked but could not see a way to edit the thread title. The 6.5 foot
draft is a deterrent for some people here and many people will buy only production boats or only
fiberglass boats. I have been very comfortable on my boat. I can go for months without
docking for
water for instance, and my solar/lithium
battery bank setup allows me to live without burning
diesel to create electricity. This is better for the
engine too since I don't need to idle it for long periods of time just to charge the
batteries.
