Pearsons are generally well made boats. Often those you find today have
suffered from a lack of maintenance and rather rudimentary equipment. So
like any older boat, it depends less on the boat in general and more on
the specifics of the example.

Get the one that has the least draught. Cruising the Bahamas is best done in
a very shoal draught vessel.

But, before you do anthing ask yourself what is it about you that drives
your husband to drink.

If you are going to be living aboard my advice would be to get the
biggest boat you can safely handle by yourself, perhaps a 33 or 34 if
you are experienced. That small amount of extra length makes a big
difference in interior space.

That said, both of the Pearsons are good boats, just a little small
for your intended purpose. Most liveaboard couples in the Bahamas are
on boats in the 40 ft range.

Pay attention. She said she wanted to get away from her drunken husband.
Now, you're trying to saddle her with bigger than she needs so her drunken
hubby can continue to plague her?

That's bad advice. The 28-footer is plenty big for her unless she's as fat
as Bobsprit or has a head as large and unwieldy as Boobies brat or
something.

But, then again. she's another New Yorker (Union City) so talking to her is
probably talking to yet another loser liberal. She surely won't listen to
good advice. Heck, she probably even voted for Obama. I begin to see why her
husband remains drunk. It's probably the only way he can abide her presence.

The P30 has a better capsize ratio and motion comfort for cruising.

It isn't me. I think it might be Suzanne finally wanting to get shed of
Bobsprit. Looks like the post comes from the same area where Booby keeps his
boat docked.

How about a Coronado 27 instead, then you can exchange a drunken husband for
a wee willy

Right on the spot. Either boat would be an OK coastal cruiser .... if
in overall good
condition and well equipped. About 90% of boats for sale are not, so
it's impossible
to say which would be better. The 28-2 is fairly roomy for it's LOA
and is a newer,
better performing design. But it's still old enough that poor
maintenance could take
a heavy toll.

IIRC the P-30 was originally offered with a gas engine, which should
have been replaced
by now. If not, run away!

I like the 28II over the 30s I found. More modern configuration, better
use of the interior space, draft not too horrible at 4'10".

It doesn't matter what kind of boat "Neal" has. Wilbur still doesn't do fat
ladies. So, Bitty, that means your wife is safe from me.

How can you be so sure of that? Have you asked him? If you were beautiful,
sexy, slim and fit, had no bad habits of your own such as cigarette smoking,
rich, a great partner in bed, never nagged, were the perfect helpmate,
understanding, kind, giving, supportive, etc., would he have any reason to
drink? What is it he's trying to escape from?
