Well,
We did a 26 mile run on an American Tug 395 today!
My new favorite boat!
Dorsey (my wife) is slowly coming around to the idea of a power boat and I am sure she will love it!!!
Here is a quick video of 15kts in flat water while we enjoy the view from the flybridge...

Well if you look at my avatar you will see that I already have the classic woodie. The guy across the dock from me has a Westport 112. Very nice comfortable boat. By the way the Blanchard was a stock boat too. Very little variation during the 6 year production run. Blanchards were built about 80 miles from where Westports are built. I am a bit of a regional chauvinist when it comes to boats My boat is a one-off though.

If money was no object I would have built from scratch one of my dads tugs from way back. It was 60', wood of course, with an old 180hp Washington in it. I would go for a CAT or something but the boat would be the same overall at least on the outside. Here she is.

It has now been 11 years! She is a great boat that has taken us to Bermuda 3 times, cruised the coast of Maine for something approaching 2 years in actual time and we have been very happy with her!
I'm the one driving the move to power...
It is simply time.

Wifey B: You're not the only regional chauvinist. My hubby is and he's not even from the area. But then Orin Edson is one of his like superheroes. Almost a traitor to be from NC and think so much of the PNW builders and the naval architects in the area. He thinks NC is good though. And from NOLA to Gulfport but it's all commercial now. Maybe we'll get a Fast Supply Vessel one day. 
The Blanchard didn't surprise me, the WP did.

Yes, there are a couple of these - and newer 50s and 52s - in my club. Here's one - today he was berating the guy who does his woodwork because his bright deck had cracks in the finish. I particularly like that 50/54 because the woodwork was down to the (natural) cockpit and coaming. That aft deck reminded me of the aft deck on the longer Flemings (beyond the 50/53). And I'm a bit tickled that I have 2 years seniority over the member with the 50 MK II and would get ahead of him for an upcoming large slip opening that he's been coveting for more than 10 years. Does that make me a bad person? 
Edit: I was going to edit this post on my phone and add the image, but apparently that's not supported in the mobile app. Bummer

If that slip comes up, would you have to go bigger to get it?

Yes - his boat is actually 57' overall and the slip is 60' but can go a few feet over. I'm fine right now in my 50' covered but that big outside slip would be the cats pajamas.
