hey todd...
i just added it to let people see we have both boats.
you see we had sail boats and power boats for a long time, so as the years past in the late 80's my wife sailed on the 22 and she like the size so later i got her one, three years old at the time.
it's really her boat. but i do ever thing on it, its ok, i like too.
she likes the ty but for long weekends or cruising she wants her boat, allot moving around room.
she named her boat easy rider as well and added the SR on the end.
we use both boats about the same amount of time, we have a slip and dry slipe as well by the lake, but in the winter i bring both boats home.
the 22 sits in the back yard and the ty sits inside because i make changes from time to time for off shore sailing and the larger lakes up here.
we have one lake here that is ten miles wide by over fifty miles long and it gets really windy, 35 knots and up with three foot waves small. its all right for the sailing.
i like both boats for sailing the 22 stays allot dryer and can take allot more then the ty as well, but i like the ty for the smaller size.
i don't want to bore you,
but it sounds like your boat is coming along, nicely.
i was working on a potter 19 for around a year and allot of tlc and small repairs, but i already sold it and put around thousand in my pocket.
i am looking for a nother fixer upper under twenty feet, they are easy to sell around here.
all i use is a five foot ladder on both boats for getting on board.
have fun with it.

I made the landing a bit big so I'd have a place next to the boat to set tools, etc. A carport is coming, to help shield her from the weather. Lots of stuff to do, including repairing some spongey sections of deck, paint, etc.
Questions for ya: You own the Ty and the 22 both now, sailing them both, right? Which do you sail more? Do you like the way one handles better than the other?
