Hi everyone. My name is Steve
You are probably wondering what a guy from Phoenix Arizona is doing on a trawler forum.
Well my wife and I are going to retire next year. Our plan is to buy a 40ish foot trawler and do Americas Great Loop and the Bahamas over about a 12-18 month duration. At the end of the trip we will either sell the boat or sell the house .
I have so many things i need to learn.
Any special training to pilot a 40 foot yacht vs a 21 foot ski boat and any special radio instruction.....
What yacht to purchase for safety, seaworthiness, reliability, comfort and resale......
How to purchase a yacht for the great loop from Phoenix Arizona, 1000's of miles away from the loop................
Best place to purchase the boat.............
My wife and I love boating, but the only boating experience we have is 30 years of piloting ski boats on Arizona lakes. The latest being a 1994 Chris Craft Concept 21 open bow inboard/outboard for the last 20 years.
I look forward to learning a lot from this forum
