How to choose a good boat
 

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!

Actually, I'm using mostly the same words! I just blasted poor Mooron,
Scotty and Bob Crantz is the 35s5 troll by simply pasting in old
posts!!! Poor Mooron said I struck the bait and never knew what hit
him!!! And I've got poor Sloco singing songs about Scotty's Siedlemann
30!!!!

It's easy to understand Sloco being jealous of your Seidelmann. He's
probably
jealous of your 64 Dodge Dart, too. Completely understandable.


Think about it...poor Sloco thinks Siedlemann is a good boat!!!! Can
you imagine? He's said so!

Ohhhhh Rob,

The 60's era Dodge Darts kicked ass. I would much rather have any Dart
than the Vagina looking Tribeca you were suckered into buying.

And Muffin, the Dodge Dart GTS with the 426 HEMI is worth 3 time what
our tribeca is worth, and it's value keeps going up, as the value of
the Tribeca plundges. Good lord I wish you would buy a clue.
