Thanks guys for all your posts. I agree, I think the Getaway or H16 is the ticket. I am leaning back toward the 16, because the $6k price tag scares me a bit. The reality is that the chances of me getting my girlfriend and the kids (Larry, Moe and Curly) all on the boat at the same time is actually probably not going to happen that frequently. I had a 16 once before but sold it because my kids were smaller, I had a devil of time getting the mast up, and my primary launching point was not very good. I think the issues I have with the 16 can be solved with a mast stepper winch thing (forgot the name) and the launching issue with Cat Trax. I need to go down to my sail shop - Performance Sail, and have Scott take me out on some of these models so I can make an informed decision. H16's are just so d--- cheap, compared to the Getaway its almost a no-brainer.

Again, I appreciate the help.
