I'm an admirer of the Bay Raiders, but the cost remains out of my league. I'm a US sailor sailing a 19ft Mariner sloop that normally sits on a lift over the water. I have a trailer, and have trailered to other waters for 2-5 days.
Last year, I lost the Spring and early Summer to motor troubles - I couldn't get my Honda 5hp to start anymore. Bit the bullet, and bought an Epropulsion Spirit. Which I had done that a LOT sooner. I actually enjoy motoring now, almost as much as I do sailing. Gliding silently around back creeks is rather special.
Came down with poly mylagic rheumatica in October which ruined fall and winter sailing for me. With the weakness and lack of mobility under control now, hope to get in a lot more sailing in 2024.
