Hello All,
As several others have said – long time lurker – finally decided to come inside.Have been following the site for a couple of months and have enjoyed following the conversations.
I have appreciated the mix of very experienced boaters along with those that are just getting started.
We fall somewhere in the middle.
The admiral and I have been into the coastal boating world for a few years.
Just sold our most recent boat, looking for the next boat.Not sure what the term is – but I would call us maybe remote boaters.We live in Texas, but kept our last boat between Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
On that boat our pattern was to be on the boat every few weeks.When we got there we would stay 10 or 11 nights.Typically only nights in the home marina was the day we arrived and the night before we were flying home.Last year was 70+ nights on the boat.
We are squarely in the requirements phase talked about in the Boat Search 101 thread.List of preferences and requirements is getting fairly long.Along with the list of – don’t want that again…
Hope to have manufacturers narrowed down by this fall/winter and starting to look at specific boats on the market.Last few months since we sold our boat have been tough on us – we have the “we are boatless” discussion at least once a week.
Look forward to participating in the forum.
Thanks,
Mark
