Is Winnipesaukee boating gonna welcome a new style of boating? Will we be seeing lightweight aluminum skiffs with long narrow hulls powered by a small outboard that sips gas as it putts along at a low speed, and never get up on plane. Something like a Prius car designed for the water.
In about 1994 a Japanese fisherman crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a very lightweight 26' boat powered by a 1 1/2hp Tohatsu outboard, if I recall correct, www.tohatsu.com. Picture cruising all the way from Meredith to Wolfeboro in such a boat while using a minimal amount of gasoline. Maybe even getting passed.......good grief...by a sailboat.  |
That is cool. I just read the story. Not my cup of tea but wow what a trip.
