1) Never buy a Sieldemann, Oday, Mac or Coronado

2) Avoid boats like the Nordica 30 with interiors that are poorly done.

3) Avoid dated dinosaurs like Express 30's with ghastly interiors.

4) Find a boat with an aft cabin, especially if you have kids!

5) Find a fast boat, even if you don't plan to race. Fast = fun!

6) avoid 30-37 foot boats with PHRF above 150 or so. That's just SLOW
dull sailing.

7) Buy a sailboat, not a trawler

8) Get a swim platform...safety and fun combined!

9) Avoid boats with leaky pop out ports like Express 30 and some C&Cs.

10) Find a boat with sleeping arangements not only suited to munchkins!

11) Find a boat with a head for people with legs!

12) Find a boat with a good combo of draft and performance!

13) Avoid sluggish sloppy cable based steering systems!

Boats that accomplish this for under 100K???? C&C 34+ XL CB and the
Beneteau First 35s5.

Cheers!

Same troll, different words. You really have run completely out of
material, haven't you, Bubbles?
