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.

Thanks,

QE2 is a great place to start.

lol, I didn't expect anything but those kind of comments But
seriously, It's kind of a lifelong dream, that might never happen, but
hey I want to start learning. I just bought my first boat so I am
starting to dream.

If you are seriously interested, here is the "must read" bible:

"Voyaging Under Power " by Robert Beebe and James Leishman

Available at: www.amazon.com

Suitable boats are low powered, very special purpose, and will not
appeal to everyone.

Thanks Wayne. B for the book suggestion. It is certainly the kind of
material I am looking for. I am not fussy about the look of the boat,
nor do I care so much how long it would take me to do the trip. I am
just looking for a boat that will do the job without me having to
continue the trip on sea turtles with human hair for rope.
