RE: Blue Water Capabilities?

If your budget is almost unlimited , an ocean worthy (there are damn few) power boat would be great.

Unfortunatly even tho they sport the trawler look, there are damn few trawlers that can go where a 30 ft sail boat can go in terms of ocean work..

The longer crossings will run close to 4000NM , and that's a specialized (READ EXPENSIVE) power boat indeed. Not a big deal in a rag bagger , just time.

Especially since an offshore power boat build or purchase cost will be about 300% higher than a "trawlery" coastal power boat.

The best advice was to get a sail boat if big distances , or even just a small Atlantic crossing is contemplated.
