We haven't had time to recover from the loss of our Chris Craft 28EXP. Insurance companies have yet to arrive.
Had her for 12 years and was finished upgrading everything to allow us to cruise to FL every spring. Not this year! What I liked about the 28EXP was 17Knots @ 6 gal/hr. (Cummins 6BT). Easy to get into a slip at the last minute with a small boat
Our next boat will have attributes that the Chris did not have. Protected running gear, good tracking and stability in a beam sea and space for a generator. Inside steering is a must, I see a lot of trawlers don't have that.
I've never had a boat with an upper helm and I think it will take an adjustment for me. Due to our age and agility there must be easy access to the flybridge
looking forward to our next boat, whatever it will be.
