Ahoy,
Background: I have been lurking, or should I say drooling for years, on this forum. Boating is in my heart and soul and was a large part of my life from childhood until my Dad sold his. Upgrades over that time were ski/fish runabout to 31' Uniflite to 43' Viking DC. Mom and Dad lived aboard the Viking for 3 years cruising the east coast with the seasons - I joined them for a week at a time here and there. Then I had a wife, kids and a pool. Pool was a bad idea, but kids baseball and scouts would have killed boat weekends. I rented boats and took the kids to the Chesapeake, Erie canal and BVI. Now that I a contemplating downsizing the pool (and the house that comes with it), I am bound and determined to become a boater again. The wife is not on board, so to speak, with this idea.
Question: Do any of you know where I can rent a Nordic Tug 37 (or 34 or 40) on the East Coast, preferably North East? I live in CT.
I have pretty much settled on a NT as my goto option, partially from reading this forum and partially from boarding one and looking at others at Wilde Yachts in Essex CT and the Norwalk Boat Show. I'd like to rent to help convince the wife and, well, I want to get back out there and SOON!
Any thoughts are welcome.
