BAD scene, Carl. Wait and see what AS&M's response is before getting any more excited, but definitely hold there feet to the fire on this.

In the meantime, if you can scrounge up a motor, you can use my 10 ft. Livingston. A 10 footer might sound small, but it is very stable. I have a 3 HP electric motor, but no battery - the oars work good though.

Keep us all posted, and let me know if the Livingston will do you any good.
