Great Harbour N37 Young America at our dock yesterday

Yeah I looked pretty hard at Vicksburg. There was some deferred maintenance like the rust all over the engines, some systems like the generator, inverter and others that were totally inop, and quite a few big blisters. Nothing that wasn't fixable, but I just wasn't the right person for that many projects at that point in my life.

Also, we took it for a sea trial on a windy day, and when the thruster failed the captain had some serious difficulty docking the boat and we whacked the dock. I know others handle the GH design fine, but it seemed fairly unwieldily for my limited skills.

Finally, my wife wasn't thrilled with the way the GH looked, so that probably killed it more than anything else.

I like the N series boats more.
