Hello boaters
Just wondering, what should I look for in a power boat that can cross
the Atlantic? In regards to length, engines, speed, make, and so on.
There are plenty of boats that will make the trip.
The biggest questions are how much you are willing to spend, and how
fast do you want to go.
Guessing, but a decent slow boat would cost @100k, a fast one @300k.
Fuel not included.

It's more like, what makes the boat worthy of crossing the ocean? What
kind of specs (minimum) that I should be looking for? For instance
fuel capacity, or the hull, or what kind of engines a boat like that
must have and how many of them.
Wayne has posted some links along the "slow" line.
Power ocean-crossers/cruisers are quite different than what we
normally see/own on this group.
Coastal trawlers are another type boat.
