Dead Boat Society? Go on? That doesn't sound like a society I want to join? I have fifteen years on Hobie 18 and a few years on Mysteres and Darts, then only sailing large monohulls. My kids are coming up now and I want a family boat for them. I always wanted a Stampede, baddest boat I ever sailed back in the day. But, if $4K will do better the please tell!

I will be sailing off the beach of Indian Rocks, overnighters to Egmont and Anclote, launching off my dock in open water in the intracoastal.
