Phil....CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I just heard that you were awarded the 2016 Gloria Steinem Award for the advancement of Feminism in Columbia.....Good Job!
Now give all that social work a break and get back to your focus on pretty boats and fast women.
Stay healthy.

Wouldn't at least part of the answer rest on what sort of "two-footers" you're talking about?
Because if you're talking about the washing machine two-footers on Lake Michigan, you're going to need a bigger boat.

Yeah the water where the island is is strange washing machine slop... no sets of waves like the atlantic or gulf of mexico.
If i leave the island at 6:20 i will be at the super market at 7 and on my way back to the island before 8am... usually its dead calm early am so i can run hard going in and run 3/4 on the way out.
No one has a boat around here that will run over about 55... no one. The local made boats are all 14 or 18 degree pos build quality, the captains always cut power and never launch off a wave, these boats wont take it, i have never seen so many boat with the gel coat delaminating... and fiberglass repairs the idiots scuff the area by hand with some sandpaper and start slopping on resin and matt... you have never seen such horrible workmanship anywhere!

Sexism is so rampant in these latin american countries that gloria s would probably be stoned to death if she ever made a public speech down here lol...
Charlie we are doing a social project here on isla mucura, where my hostel is located.
so many of the locals are illiterate.
So we are going to have reading and conservation classes for the island kids, and will also offer spanish immersion classes. We are talking with several gals now to fill this dual role position right now. Rm

I dont plan on running it wfo in big water, but in the am when its calm i can let her rip.. and still run 60 in the slop... i had a 21 donzi which with the bbc trs was much heavier than a SB with an eggbeater, if it handles the waves even close to as well as the donzi it will be perfect for my needs... rm
