I can't imagine trucking that baby. There's a Maine Cat 41 sitting next to my boat (on the hard) right now, so I have a good perspective on size... standing on the ground between the hulls it looks like about an acre of bridge-deck overhead .

I know what you mean about the big checks. At first it's like spending money on your young baby -- but after a few years it's like spending money on your teen prodigy. It's not that you don't care as much anymore.... it's just that you want know it's justified and you will get some appreciation in return.
