Don-I am not that familiar with Maine, but you are certainly right on the PNW and Fla. Since moving to Seattle almost 14 years ago, I am constantly amazed at the boats out here, both pleasure and work. There is a strong tradition of old wood boats and classic designs native to the PNW and a strong culture of keeping many of those boats around. There are so many areas, from Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle, to Port Townsend, to Port Angeles, to Everett, Anacortes, Bellingham, etc where just walking the waterfront is an amazing experience, or spend part of a day on a busy weekend just watching the variety of boats going through the Ballard Locks.

As to Fla, if big, go-fast boats that all pretty much look alike and are owned by folks with much more money than boat sense or taste, Florida is your kind of place.

Just one man's HO.
