I have 4.5 motorcycles and if I lived closer to the water I would have a C27 in the yard. Good thing I had to pay storage.....

Are you only counting hulls you can actually sail, or including projects??? ;-)
total hulls, inclusive of powerboats and sailboats. At the 11-count point, there was:
Hobie 18, sailable
weird little no-name scow, sailable
Catalina 22, sailable
Catalina 27, in shop
19?? C&C Newport 27, parts boat
1954 Bellcraft wooden outboard utility, usable
1957 North American wooden outboard double-cockpit runabout, usable
1956 Burchcraft plywood cruiser, in shop
2005 Stingray sport cuddy, usable
19?? Crestliner aluminum utility, non-usable
19?? Lonestar fiberglass runabout, non-usable

So, 6 out of 11 were usable at any given time. That's better than 50/50 :D

Oday 192 Lake Nockamixon
Weeks I believe has lost interest in the Force 5 since the death of the owner who was a Force 5 enthusiast and racer. Thanks for the link. I tried to order a auto bailer a while back from Weeks but they stopped making them. I have been using a rubber stopper tied to a string. :) I bought a Laser version but was too big to use without modification to the boat.
Functionally, the GLMO bailer looks like a stopper on a string. Last night I cut the supposedly rubbery stopper off mine, leaving a bit of a tail, drilled a hole, and ran 1/8" polyester utility cord in anticipation of getting a rubber stopper with screw eye. I say supposedly because it's more like plastic now than rubbery. Seems easier to operate than the bend-over plug thing as originally designed. Seems GLMO thinks similarly.

Performance Cruising Telstar 28 302 Watkins Glen
Oday 272, Catalina 14.2, C22, Oday 26, Wahoo 16 (center console motorboat), 2 kayaks...
I sold the C22 and the Oday 26! Whew!

I think I am safe.

...waita minute... i don't think i am supposed to be the judge a that!

Oh, and we use the Wahoo 16 and the Oday 272 every weekend during the season. We motor before 12pm or so, return to the dock, have lunch, and sail all afternoon... There is often little wind on the lake between 10am and 1pm.
We only take the C14.2 on vacation with us.

Tartan 37 287 Pensacola, FL
At my max, I had 7 boats. I'm down to 4 at this time. A kayak, an 8 foot Walker Bay with a sailing kit, a 340 Zodiac with a 9.9 2 stroke and the 37 foot Tartan.

According to Dylan, I am cured of Poly Navicular Morbus disease. But I think I'm just in remission as I have been drooling over some of the bass boats in the area.

Did you know that bass swim at speeds in excess of 50mph? That's the only reason I can think of for having a boat that can run at 70!!!

I have no idea how it happened, but I ended up with 4 boats, 3 motorcycles, 3 snowmobiles, 1 motorhome. Just woke up one day and there they were.
