Re: Mangrove Mistress
Tom,
If you go through with contacting Captain Schuh, please share what you
learn. I've been too shy so far to contact her myself, but Tennessee
is my dreamboat, and Mangrove Mistress' style and fitting-out are the
most attractive to me of any Tennessee that I've seen photographed.
One of the things that I'm curious about is the bigger motor that she's
rigged with. I'm curious whether the decision to double her power was
based on experience with the boat, the anticipation that she would
generally be heavily loaded, or the desire to run a smoother motor more
gently. Also, I'm curious as to whether she was beefed up in any way
to deal with commercial service and the heavier motor.
At some point, I hope to get up the gumption, time and $$$ to charter a
ride.
