Default Ideal size boat

We all occasionally wish for a larger boat but would we really buy one
if we were able? I have decided "No", my 28' S2 is ideal for me. A
larger boat would have more to go wrong and require more expense. My
28 is ideal for me as she is large enough to do a lot of things but
small enough for me to easily single-hand which I do a lot. The older
I get, the happier I am to not have a larger boat. This past 6 months
is the first time I have ever had her in a marina ( I kept her at pvt
docks for years) and I have noticed what I have heard about for years,
"A boats use is inversely proportional to her length". Do others here
have a simialr experience of realizing they do not want a bigger boat?


I have thought of a 27' boat. Must be trailerable behind a 3/4T diesel.
One I could spend a week cruising the San Juans, or tow to Florida and
spend a couple of months in the area, with some nights in hotels. But I
like my 21' alum jet boat, so would keep that.


Bill,
What make is your aluminum jet boat?
