Nah…….Didn’t Stu have a trawler? We take all types here.
Speaking of power, none of the boats you mentioned will be going to the Bahamas
except in fairly calm weather. You will have the issue of getting there fast
and then being trapped. I once took a girl home from Walker’s Cay due to this.
She came across about 120 miles of open ocean with her parents in a *Wellcraft
18 footer*!!!!!
It was flat calm on Saturday and 30+ out of the northwest on Sunday with water
coming across the runway. We were stuck too, but the next day it was a little
calmer and I could take off. She needed to get back to school so we took her
back to Florida. It was probably at least a week before that Wellcraft was
leaving for home. That is bit of an extreme example, but the typical 30-40 foot
powerboat wouldn’t have been leaving much sooner.
I used to be in the boat fixing and moving business and learned a lot
delivering various powerboats various places. Always fun to have customer’s
pride and joy motor yacht 3 stories tall with dinner-plate rudders and the wind
howling.

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

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
