Yes I'm really a sailor at heart, but we have gotten to that age where the athletic endeavors are not as much adventure any more as they are too much work for us. And I'm a Mechanical Engineer, so we have told our sailing friends that we are moving over (to the Dark Side some say - but I LIKE engines) and letting them get beat to crap in a stiff breeze offshore. We're more interested in cruising the San Francisco Bay and playing with the Grandkids and teaching them about boats.
So we're in the market for a twin diesel trawler (never leave the dock with a single means of propulsion) that will sleep the whole clan (say 34-39 feet) and be comfortable for a day cruise from SF to Sausalito and back.
So I see Grand Banks, Island Gypsy, Californian, a few others that look interesting. Does anyone out there have something less than $100 grand that we might look at?
Thanks.
And I'll be here for the long haul. This boat is going to last us for a long time.
