Will do.

There's what appears to be an out of business car dealership on Rt. 1A as you enter Ipswich on the right (assuming that you're traveling eastward from Hamilton.)
I was surprised to see some kind of swap meet being held there a month or two ago. Perhaps it's a rentable space. I'm pretty sure it has garage bays though I have no idea what kind of shape the interior is in.

Thank you all for your input. I did end up acquiring a boat. I got a fiberglass P&H Orion. I bought used so I should be able to recoup most if not all of the money if the boat doesn't work out, plus, I'll be able to participate in some pool sessions this winter.

That's pretty cool.

I have a question re: the attached skirt. Can it be tucked away in some fashion so you can use the suit for other water activities?

There are numerous rest areas up route 95 where you can park overnight. I used to do a fair bit of carpooling up there and have left vehicles overnight all over the state. I know there's one just before Portsmouth, perhaps one near Newbury (technically MA), definitely one near after the Maine border.... I wouldn't be surprised if there were more that I haven't seen between the MA and ME border.
PM me if you need more specific locations.

T-bone... a car accident where one car plows into the side of another.
I read a bit about 2 and 3 boat rescues Hutchinson's Seakayaking last night and was left with the impression that there was a lot of potential for boat-on-boat contact with many of the rescues - it looked as though some even required it.

Good Morning All,
I just moved to the area and have been paddling a couple of sea-worthy SOT (Sit on top) kayaks for the past year and half. I'm ready to make the transition to a proper SINK for this coming spring. I've done my homework and have narrowed my selection down to a few models.
I've come across some fantastic used boats within my price range in Poly, Glass, and even Kevlar. These boats meet my volume requirements, (I'm 6', 180-185, 35" waist, size 12 foot and the boat will be used primarily for day/weekend trips) and they're boats that I could 'grow into' as my skills progress.
In the back of my mind I'm thinking perhaps I should be more prudent and just focus on getting a poly boat considering how many rescues drills that the boat will be subjected to.
I'm envisioning the scenario of doing drills in a composite boat where a T rescue turns into a T-boning.
Is a 'beater boat' smart money?
It almost seems as though, the more serious I am about the sport (read: more drills), the more this supports the argument for getting a lower-end boat.
BTW looking forward to pool sessions when the schedule is set for this winter/spring.
Thanks,
M

I put a call into the realtor for that out of business car dealership on 1A on Saturday. Haven't heard back yet. I'll call again tomorrow if I don't hear by then.
I'd consider it a long shot at this point. I'll update when I know more.
