First 36.7

Nope...another boat built for short sleepers and with a cheaply done
interior.

Tell us about it, Bob.

Does it have a wheel or tiller?
How much bigger is the cabin than a 33.7?

You're the expert! You da man!

Real question..... Why was I not impressed by the 36.7?

Regards

Why, becauase he is actually taking a look at what's on the market before
making
announcements about 'the best boat'?

I examined the market carefully. No one has proven otherwise by showing a boat
that does what the 34xl can do.

Relatively few boats over 40 feet have 7' bunks. Especially mass-produced
boats.

However, it's all out there. If you look hard enough, you'll find.

Yup. Found ONE. The 34xl from C&C.

aft bunk is WAY too short. Nice boat though.

I never have trouble getting a good sleep during a long-distance
cruise, although I do agree with you. I seem to attune myself to the
boat and its motion pretty quickly, so if there's a change, especially
if something feels wrong, I wake instantly.

If you were any kind of sailor you'd realize that
you rarely get a good night's sleep even if your berth
is 10 feet long.

Real sailors sleep with one eye open but you wouldn't
know a thing about that would you?

S.Simon - 40 winks, two or three at a time like a real sailor.

I ran the search for boats 30'-40'
priced from 0-99k and came up with 400. Question is, why would someone
want
to buy a boat that they can't sail competitively?

John, you're not acting too bright. I need a boat where getting a good
night's
sleep is possible and without forcing my wife to sleep in another bunk!
VERY
few boats under 40 feet have 7 foot bunks. Now throw in the perormance
criteria
and not buying a bloated old boat.
Sorry.

The Express 30 has no bunk of reasonable size for someone 6'3. It's far
slower than the C&C 34XL. It's cabin is smaller than the boat I have now! It's
a
starter boat.

Except for the speed thing your other 2 comments are off base.

The X-Yachts reminds me of the C&C 99 with a inferior interior. Neither the
X-Yacht nor the C&C are less than 100K used.

The X-Yachts 332 looks nothing like the 99 either on deck or down below or
below the waterline. As far as neither being avail. for less than a hundred
grand just how do you know? Do you know anyone who has bought either one? I
think not. All YOU have seen is advertised prices. According to you a C&C 32
can't be had for less than thirty some grand but you were the only one in the
world who did.

world who did.

Loco, be a sport and help the 3 people on the C&C list find a 32 for under 30K.
Two of them already made me offers, but I won't sell until end of 2004.
You know nothing about the market!

The Express 30....It's OLD. It's slower. It's smaller. It's an inexpensive
starter boat. That's the Express.
Oh, and it's a LOT slower.
