New Toy :)

I haven't been posting for a while, although I'm all about lurking...

I picked up my newest toy yesterday... had fun trailering all 4,000 lbs. of her 3.5 hours from New Jersey back home near Albany, NY. I have to say... the X barely knew she was back there. There was no issue with sway and acceleration was great (for having that much weight). I drafted behind a bunch of semi's to try to get better gas mileage, but overall I only decreased by 3-4 mpg (down from 17mpg to 13.5mpg average).

Anyway, she's a Precision 23, fully trailerable and takes about 45 minutes to rig once you know what you're doing (which I don't, so I expect to take 2 hours for the first few times ) Her name is "Anticipation" named for the fact that it's our "trainer" boat towards our next goal. In 3-5 years, I plan on taking a year off, taking the kids out of school, buying a 50' sailboat and sailing up the east coast of the US for a year...

There are a few more pics of her at http://labatt.dandd.com/v/non-art/anticipation/
