Outer Limits has spent the last 7 years on Lake Ontario after being trucked up from Annapolis, Maryland. Needs 10 knots of wind to perform well. This year, trying a new Sobstad asymetrical for those light air days. Should eventually replace 3 blade fixed prop with a feathering for an extra .5 knots of speed.

Great accomodations. Have had 6 people on board for 2 weeks at a time. Bigger than many of today's 36-38 footers. Large dining table in salon (seats 5 to 6 comfortably) and a great cockpit.

Only draws 4'6", so it's a great boat for the Thousand Islands area. Numerous lake crossings in 8' to 12' seas. A little pounding going to weather, but no big deal.

33" Bruce holds great in mud, sand, weeds, and 60 knot winds. Yes, we do have some nasty storms here on the lake.

Have chartered bigger boats in the BVI and Grenadines, but still prefer my trips up to the Thousand Islands and Kingston, Ontario in the Endeavour.

Highly recommended if you want a lot of room in a relatively small boat, shallow draft, and reasonably good performance. Only complaint is that there is no weather helm, so the boat feels more like a Lincoln than a BMW.
