Most of the boats I have looked at are boats that would be perfect for me just the way they are. Most are over-equipped with a lot of...
Two things; would you care to share some of what you learned about engines; and, why did you switch from sails to power?
I liked a wise adage by someone on this forum (I can’t remember who it was, but it stuck in my head) who prescribed the rule that if something...
Great informative post; I can live with the $500 per foot figure...it appears realistic to me and doable. Thank you.
Great post; to answer the bolded part, yes my wife and I talked about making the change while she is still working because her commute would only...
I have been looking at them; but they appear to be primarily available on the East Coast and many do not have a cockpit with a swim platform that...
The bolded part had me laughing...priceless.
Let me be clear here; I am NOT in the market for a new boat. I can only afford to buy used. ;)

Great post....very helpful. I lived the South Beach 400 gallon story...you must have been cranking the RPMs....but great point. By the way,...
Excellent, helpful and informative post. No, I cannot afford new and will be buying used and, yes, Tollycraft is out of business but my thought...
Here are some of my "must haves" that I am looking at: (1) Must have a decent fuel capacity of at least 1,000 gallons. (2) Must have a...
I don’t really think I am all over the place, which is why I was looking at Jefferson’s and Tollycraft. I live in Ventura and one of the more...
I am looking at that option. The only issue here is with local fishing; it would be nice to have more power and speed to get out 50 miles or so...
