Cuz Pearsons are East-coast boats - scarce as hen's teeth out here in
the NW. (Same reason YOU've never heard of a Crown...)

They're not scarce in the SF bayarea.

The OP is in the Pac NW (as am I). I looked into buying a boat in CA
and trucking it North - turned out despite the lower prices it just
wasn't worth it. (And yes, I looked into SAILING it north - pretty
much Universal Opinion on this board was I would be nuts to do so!)

Nope - we've got lots of really nice boats up here, so we don't have
to go to the ends of the earth to get one.

Well, it wouldn't have been totally nuts, just partially nuts. LOL

Maybe, maybe not. I know of 4 Pearsons (3 P365's and a 26) in the
Port Angeles marina alone. There are probably more and none are for sale!

Subject

Get a 30 ft boat.

Double the room, easy to single hand if necessary, easy to find a dock when
on cruise.

Will have an inboard engine.

Low cost to purchase, probably not much more than a 27, if you are patient,
easy to sell when finished.

I personally don't like them, but as a coastal cruiser, the Catalina 30 is
probably the most popular boat out there.
