Being new to all this, I can't help but dream. (Boating seems like a mental disorder.) I dream about being able to take my boat to exotic ports around the globe. We all do I imagine. Sure, there is a lifetime of things to explore right here at home - and the NC coast itself could keep you busy for a very long time. But I wonder about being able to visit friends in Jamaica, motoring to St. Lucia, or even Bora Bora (ok... that's a stretch). I estimate her range to be around 800 to 1000 miles. Is any of this even remotely possible in a 35' CHB branded trawler with a single Perkins 135? I assume the Bahamas are a given, but realistically, what are the blue-water capabilities of these boats? If it doesn't have the ability and we wanted to leave our home life behind, what affordable vessel DOES have the ability to cruise the world?
