Also you might look at boats a tad bigger, and forestall two-foot-itis.
A 27' or 28' will cost only a tiny bit more and offer surprising
expansions in comfort & performance.

====================================

That's an excellent point in my opinion. A 27 or 28 foot boat can be
cruised in relative comfort by two people for an extended period of
time but a 25 can not. The cost differential may not be that great in
an older boat, and will be certainly offset by the transaction cost of
trading up in a few years.

Just another point to ponder. Take a look at the Paceship 26 (PY26).
They are very well built come with wither a diesel or an outboard and
are one of the biggest 26 footers around while still lookinbg nce and
sailing well.

Ok, ok, I;m a little biased but My dad owned one and I have owned one
now for 5 years.

Matt,

Am I crazy, or do I see you on the Tanzer list, saying that one of the
Tanzers is the same boat?

If true, it's a great boat.

And you're a piker. We've had our Xan for more than a decade and I still
feel like a newbie with all those 30 year owned-by Tanzer folk.
