It's a community list of C&C enthusiasts that sometime have side conversations.
I hope Edd stays a part of the community even after he moves to a different
type of vessel. Edd, I may be moving to your area, in a few years, if all
goes well!

Subject: Stus-List Re: Now best powerboats Joe, Thanks. We’ve looked at
quite a few boats over the past few months and there were several that we
didn’t like, whether it’s the style, layout, number of levels,
engines, etc. I’m not ruling out gas engines, but would prefer diesels
purely from a maintenance and safety level. Right now, a Sea Ray 400 Sedan
with Caterpillar 3126’s has really caught my eye. Also interested in the
Carver 36 Mariner, the Regal Commodore 4080 and the Meridian 341 (though I have
yet to actually get on board one — may be too small.) Primarily, we are
looking for a 16-knot+ cruiser that we could use for a day trip to a gulf-coast
island or for a week or two cruising to the Keys or even the Bahamas.
I’m well aware that, especially as a life-long C&C owner, that there will
be compromises and disappointments, but I’m looking to transition into a
less-active form of boating where the only winch on board is electric and it
drops the anchor. Now that we are here in Florida for good, we can’t
wait to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new
civilizations…. And, our Prime Directive will not change —
Wherever We Go, We Go Boldly — I just want to be at a speed that I
won’t need to take extra time off. All the best, Edd Edd M.

The Carver/Regal/Sea Ray lineup probably would not meet expectations if you had
a C&C for very long. I worked on all of them and delivered some back in the day
and unless they got a LOT better than they used to be, I can't see a C&Cer
being happy with them. Also do not be fooled by "diesel". Sailors tend to
extrapolate "lasts forever" and "sips fuel" to diesel powerboats and neither
one of those things necessarily apply. Many boosted high output diesels have
short lifespans and "economical" is in comparison to a pair of big block V8s. I
worked on a SeaRay 55 and I had to run her hard to do some autopilot
calibrations. I think I was going through 100 gallons an hour! Also the layout
and décor seemed ideal for bachelor parties - cruising not so much. Heck - even
the slow Grand Banks trawlers use a LOT of fuel compared to any sailboat
without going much faster. Joe Coquina -----Original Message----- From:

be a fast trawler. Most likely looking for a sedan bridge with diesels. All
