Hi Folks,
I do alot of boating by myself. I just upgraded to a 260DA (from a 23' Seaswirl) and was concerned about my ability to handle the boat - particularly during docking maneuvers - by myself. I queried folks here on the 260 thread and was assured that - with practice - I could manage. Right they were! I can - and much more easily than I had expected. It's always a challenge and never very pretty - but I have been able to get the job done safely.
So - now I am curious as to how big a DA I could expect to be able to handle by myself - with sufficient practice - particularly during docking.
Opinions - mostly based on experience :wink: - are welcome.
Thanks all.
