Been two months... time for an update. I was running headlong down the "interim boat" path. Kinda fell in love with the 360DAs and the 380DA (early 2000s). Looked at a couple and seriously considered a 380DA with twin CATs, but the numbers just didn't align, especially for an "interim boat". I...

I want to know the answer as well. I noticed the stuff that looks like asphalt at the bottom (is that the bilge?). And those overly long hose clamps can become like knife blades! And what is that random black hose front and center? And something looks a little wonky at the far end of the...

(I had a nicely worded post that my web filter ate because I took too long to post it!) This question is one of the reasons which lead me to post here on TF. I have at a minimum four to seven years before I am actually ready to begin my "Trawler Lifestyle" and pursue my Great Loop adventure...

I liked my Catalina 30 when I bought it (after looking at many with a broker, and it was actually the first boat she showed me!). I still liked it when it was sold but it had to go as I was unable to fit it in with my household goods when transferred to Yokosuka.

As far as the David Pascoe thing, I'm planning on reading several of his 'reviews'. It's funny how much he liked the U.S. Marine Maxim 4600! Right now I'm trying to gather as much data as I can and hope to seriously begin the hunt in the spring.

Thanks Gordon, I may take you up on your offer, but I need to make a business trip to beautiful Sharjah to work on a tanker for a week or so...

I think the Grand Banks (Europa?) is where I want to get to. My wife and I got on a Mainship 35 a few weeks back in Deltaville which kind of moved this to the front burner. I did stumble across David Pascoe's web site, and he made me very nervous about any boat that isn't "Hatteras" type...

The view is very frustrating as I want to quit watching and start doing... I've looked at the 32xx and 38xx and they look good. I just don't want to become transfixed on some particular model. I forgot a requirement or two. I have two teenage boys, one's in college, the other is in high...

... and finally registered, as I have some questions. I've been having "loop dreams" for the past five or so years now and I work across the street where the AGLCA have their spring rendezvous for the last couple of years. I also have a pretty good view of ICW mile marker zero, so I am...
