I wanted to get others opinion. I am a MN guy that is moving from the river, selling my Carver 350 Mariner. My plan is to sell my house, and most everything and purchase a 50' range long range yacht to port out of San Diego and cruise long range. I want to be able to go from Cabos or Costa Rica to Alaska and hopefully some day go through the canal and into the Bahamas area. Oh I should also add, that I need to be able to operate this by myself as I will not have a crew or others with me.
I am currently looking at the Ocean Alexander 52' as well as a Mikelson 50'. I have looked at the Nordhavens, Selene and Flemmings - all pretty much out of my price range (I have about a 250-300k budget), not to mention since this will also be my home, I need the interior to be somewhat luxurious as well.
I have heard the Navigators, Bayliners and Meridians are all pretty "light" boats. I want something very safe and reliable. I do not know anything about McKinna's - anyone have any knowledge?
Looking for any opinions - if there are others that have done what I am embarking upon.
Thanks
Wayne
