Re: Hauling a 1961 B31 sport fisherman and stability at anch

This is a fine forum. Informative, yet unbiased. To learn more about a boat I usually join their forum and find that most helpful. i want to say, however that this forum is the best one yet for straight answers, which is most appreciated.
