I had a 25' John Almand, and loved it, but as the kids got older and left the house I had less and less available labor to help with it. Yes, you're 100% correct, it can be done, but I've found that with age also comes the desire to KISS things. (K.I.S.S.= Keep It Simple Stupid) If you can do the same things with smaller and easier then KISS the big boat goodby.
