They plan to start the Loop in the next year or so but are not certain what kind of boat we will use for the loop because "we think the 28-footer will be too small for us to successfully stay married and do the Loop." "We are looking at Tollycrafts or Carvers," Karen says. "I know there is quite a difference but we like both for different reasons. We used to live in Michigan before semi-retiring to Tennessee. We have always had boats of one kind of another but have not really started getting into cruising until we reached Tennessee."
