I get what you're going through. I'm 73 and my wife Lynn is only a few years behind me and we only cruise together; never with a crew except for day sails.

The idea of getting around to our favorite spots in hours instead of days is quite attractive. But the related costs and noise have been serious issues. The 37+ is just the perfect boat for us in so many ways it is hard to consider moving to the dark side. Though it may be inevitable as we slowly deteriorate into useless blobs of rotting flesh...Gosh.. that got a little dark.

Anyway...best of luck and I hope you don;t get booted by Stu!

Tom,

I’m well aware of that. I worry that once I make the change, Stu may kick me off the list.

And if that does happen, someone else will need to step up and give David Risch crap so that there’s no void.

All the best,

Edd

You come to the wrong church with that stink-pot talk...just sayin!

Joe,

We are keeping an open mind, and much will depend one how soon and how much the Enterprise-B sells for.

Big winds and big seas aren’t usually an issue here in Southwest Florida and we’d like to get to places like Tampa, Captiva Island, Sanibel, Naples, the Keys and even the east coast or Bahamas without spending days to get there. As Warp 7 (7 knots), Captiva is about 7 hours away. And, it would be great to hop down to Boca Grande or Port Charlotte for lunch without leaving before sunrise :-)

I think we are leaning towards a sedan bridge boat with an open cockpit. Ones that we have liked so far are the Meridian 341, the Carver 36 Mariner, the Sea Ray 400 SB, the Regal 4080 Commodore, Carver 41 CMY, and so on.

I’m well aware of the fuel and maintenance costs along with the issues of docking (I plan to add thrusters, if the boat doesn’t have them), especially since my slip is pretty tight and requires some maneuvering to pull in — I couldn’t single-hand dock with this boat now anyway.

All the best,

Edd
