The difference between the cats and monos are the lack of heavy weights in them. ;-)Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773370276862539169.post-10965968309611624612013-10-06T13:51:36.257-06:002013-10-06T13:51:36.257-06:00Yeah, this quest to buy a boat has definitely been...Yeah, this quest to buy a boat has definitely been an adventure.<br /><br />At the time, the fiasco with the haul out seemed like a disaster, but I think getting to take that repositioning motor sail was a good thing and worth the hassle.<br />Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773370276862539169.post-35056811649521081792013-10-06T13:44:21.133-06:002013-10-06T13:44:21.133-06:00Haha...I just realized I said keel.... it's a ...Haha...I just realized I said keel.... it's a cat!
