What do you think, Wilbur?
Would this one do?

Might make a good live-aboard-at-a-dock boat. This is the type of boat that
only a "Bruce in Bangkok" would love.

That particular Morgan will go to weather about as well as a haymow. It's
sad that anybody would buy a sailboat that doesn't really sail and has a
huge motor in a failed attempt to compensate. The interior is designed to
attract the distaff side in that it looks like and is equipped like an
apartment ashore.

Willie-boy, you really expose your lack of knowledge of the "Cruising"
world every time you post.

Now sit down and think how you would want your "Real Cruising" boat
equipped. Not the afternoon junket down the bay, or even the weekend
cruising. No, the real cruising life style - you sell the house, kiss
the kids good-bye and sail off.

That is the type of people in my world and once you depart from the
bounds of the afternoon cruise in the bay (and then you discover that
the winds aren't blowing you abandon that). I'm talking about, say a
"cruise" from Perth, Australia to Phuket, Thailand; maybe a nice trip
from Singapore to India (non stop), you know stuff like that? A little
late to abandon "afternoon cruise" when you are in the middle of the
Indian Ocean and the wind stops blowing.

I suspect that once you try to pack your dunnage onto a tiny little
boat like yours you might change your tune a little. Imagine -
everything you own on a peanut sized boat, no storage ashore, just you
and your boat.... and little is better?

No Willie-boy, you don't know a thing about real cruisers and you
demonstrate your ignorance in your every post. Jesus! Cheating Walmart
out of the price of a bottle of booze? A real cruiser!

Cheers,

Bruce
