Hi all,
I'm currently in a Viking 33. I am 6'-0" tall and I cannot stand up in most of
the boat and I'm tired of hitting my head. The wife and I are starting to
cruise more and find that after 3 days on board we NEED to get off. I love how
this boat sails! she handles beautifully and has a very slippery hull, deep
keel and points like nobody's business! However we really want some creature
comforts. Like, at least a swim platform, I think this can be added to the
right boat, A stand-up shower and a usable galley. A large cockpit is also on
the want list for entertaining.
We don't race but we like to go fast.
My thoughts are to either buy a
suitable older boat and have her modified to what we want or go for a new
boat. We like the Jeanneau 349 but my fear is the quality of the new boats and
the composites they use. I love the solid hull on my viking. The wife really
loves the light open feeling of the newer boats and I'm only even considering
them for her sake.
I'd like to start a conversation on this and hopefully come to a conclusion. I
feel that a new boat will depreciate quickly and a refurb of an older boat will
offer a better quality built boat overall and the value will remain largely the
same.
I have, until now, rehabbed 2 boats from the brink of the crusher. Although I
enjoyed the process and have a strong sense of accomplishment, I don't want to
do it again. I want to find a boat, have the work contracted out by a reputable
yard and end up in a turn key situation. I'm getting a bit older and just want
a boat, in great shape, that I can simply maintain and sail more
than work on.
I'm considering looking on the great lakes for a nice freshwater boat. I think
and older freshwater boat will potentially be in better shape than a newer
saltwater vessel. I think the added cost of the shipping or extended cruising
vacation could really be worth it!!
I'm looking forward to all the tips, suggestions and insights!!
I guess someone is going to get a really nice V33 in Lolita!
Danny
