OK,
First it was a Catalina 27. Then, an Ericson 27. Now, I'm considering
Islander 28 or Crown 28.


So... any thoughts?

Sure.............. search this board for "Skip Gundlach." He took a
year and surveyed 100s of vessels all over the US logging an
incredible amount of vessel data befor making his final decision. I
bet he has some good ideas about which boat is reqired for costal
crusing and what a skipper needs to know.
