If you aren't into long voyages, but want comfort and something easy
to handle, take a look at the new Mainship 31s. I sure am. :)


I've eyeballed them online. Nice. However, I have no interest in
buying new again.
The Navigator and Egg Harbor were new. The depreciation is worse than
a car and the outfitting and commissioning costs can be very expensive.
I've learned my lesson.

I am also hung up on having twins. That was the only negative of the
Grand Banks.
I can deal with the slow speed, but I just like the idea of having two
engines, both for a degree of redundancy and for handling. Another
issue: I'll never own an I/O again. (sorry, Jim)

I found an older Luhrs that has caught my attention a little. I have
to go over to the Vineyard to check it out. Twin 350's, tuna tower,
small galley, head, sleeping spaces, AC/heat and a genset. Well
equipped with newer electronics, including new chartplotter and radar.
Unusual in a 29 footer.

That's one of interest. Also have a trawler type to check out. We
shall see.

Tiara offers some nice, small, twin screws.
