I am finally taking delivery in the next few days, and am using the remaining time to second guess myself. Saving money by not getting a trailer seemed an easy choice at the time as I live in an area that has many miles of delta and ocean coast to explore. Now I wonder if I am just being stupid...

The following ad is clipped from the Monterey, CA Craigslist. It has been for sale for at least several months. I looked at it and it appeared to be in excellent condition, very clean, but it is not an 'ec', extended cabin. Great buy for someone. I didn't post it sooner because until I made my...
