Jeff:
Following up on what John said, the same vintage 36 is a fine
boat, is a little bigger than the 34 (very similar), is likely adequately sized
for your family at this time, and will not be quite so eye-opening on many of
the issues described so far for making the jump to a 40 footer. Coming from a
much smaller boat, you may find this size to be a more suitable for a move up.
I have a friend in Erie who may be interested in selling his (fresh water boat,
at least for the past decade or so) if you think this might be an option. His
boat has been underused but maintained during his tenure.

We went from a Pearson 30 to a newer 89 Ericson 32 to a 89 C&C 40XL. The 40 was
just too much boat. 40 is a great size but everything is so much more
expensive. Little things that add up like bottom paint. We took 9 years from
big boats, bought a j24 to race with the kids and then 3 years ago bought our
1980 C&C 36. It is the perfect size boat for a couple and occasional weekend
with guests. Best of luck!
