Hi everyone - my hubby and I just joined. No boat, yet - still in search of. Looks like a great group, looking forward to all of the insights. Plan on cruising from Maine/Florida/Caribbean.

Welcome Aboard. Be aware there is a difference between owning a boat of almost any size in Maine and Florida and cruising the bahamas.

Thank you! We'd like to get something by the Summer, depending on where she is, cruising by Fall. At least, that's the plan.

Newbie
To find what you think you might want but don't realize it now, start with the boat sites online. Yacht World being 1.
When you find a boat you like the looks of, start centering on that and go see it in person.
IF it is still the boat you like then you start shopping.
It's an exciting time and then all of a sudden you hear yourself say, did I actually just buy a boat?
Welcome to the fun.

Agree with you completely, we started looking about a year ago just to get a better idea of what we wanted. Both online and in person. We have a pretty good idea now, just need to find her!

S 1 - Really like the avatar showing your Krogen Express 49. First time I've seen one like that. Got closeups you might like to share? - Thanks, Art
