Evenstar,
Excuse me if you thought I was trying to bash you , I certainly wasn't trying to. I would venture to say I am a bit older than you. I remember as a teenager , I knew everything and was all but immortal. It's taken me a lot of years to become as stupid and uninformed as I am. You to , will find this out as you get older and try to reason with someone of your age now.
And even though my boat's 29'2" and weighs a little over 7000 lbs , I still wouldn't go 40 miles out to sea , even though by your standard it would seem to be fine.
Enjoy the "yak"
