Tartan 34's have a good reputation and thus a higher price,
but Morgan owners love their boats too.

The Morgan would be a good tough cruising boat. A lot of people have
unreasonable prejudices against centerboards, though. At one time, all
of the working sailing vessels and most of the yachts on the east &
gulf coasts had them, so they can't be all bad.

Of course, if they were "all good" they would still be in the majority, dimwit.

At one time, oxen pulled plows to cultivate fields. At one time, buggy whip
manufacturers had a marketable product. At one time, Sails were all made of
heavy canvas.

Tougboat, you are the king of all nitwits.

Considering that the poster said he was out of Corpus Christi and
most of the bays and anything out of the channel in that area is ultra
shallow, having a centerboard boat is an excellent idea. If you look
on a chart you will note that the Texas coast is almost all protected
by barrier islands and once inside most areas are less than 3 feet
deep. Inside those islands it's not an "if" but rather a "when" you
run aground. Depending on where you are, getting to a channel through
the islands can take many hours.
Remember most folks sail a whole lot more in their home waters than
they do on the big adventure trips.
BB be care full when you call others names because all to often it
backfires.
