Having had two AT4's, I can say I like the engine. I put electronic ignition on

They were both dependable.
The issue I had with AT4's was not flammability. This issue is way overblown.

Hmm. Good list, but... If one is prone to indecision and second guessing, this

Hi Mark,
My wife (the Admiral) suggested that I add one more point. This is somewhat
closely based on our experience with moving to a larger boat.
- when you buy a new boat, be prepared for an experience quite similar to
buying a large piece of furniture at IKEA, bringing it home and trying to
ds, or in strong river current,
and when to ask for help, and when not to ask for help.
