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,


Do you have any significant boating experience now?

You probably will want a relatively slow trawler type boat, preferably
steel-hulled.


If I do I wouldn't have been so confused. My boating experience spans
only few month, I am sad to say. but I am determined to make it a
lifelong hobby. A one that will probably cost me a lot of money
needless to say.

When you (boaters who replied) say "on the slow side" how slow are we
talking about ? Would it take me 2 weeks to complete the trip? A
month? Or I will be celebrating my 60th anniversary with my wife on
the boat?
