If you aren't into long voyages, but want comfort and something easy to
handle, take a look at the new Mainship 31s. I sure am. :)


I've eyeballed them online. Nice. However, I have no interest in buying
new again.
The Navigator and Egg Harbor were new. The depreciation is worse than a
car and the outfitting and commissioning costs can be very expensive. I've
learned my lesson.

I am also hung up on having twins. That was the only negative of the Grand
Banks.
I can deal with the slow speed, but I just like the idea of having two
engines, both for a degree of redundancy and for handling. Another issue:
I'll never own an I/O again. (sorry, Jim)

I found an older Luhrs that has caught my attention a little. I have to go
over to the Vineyard to check it out. Twin 350's, tuna tower, small
galley, head, sleeping spaces, AC/heat and a genset. Well equipped with
newer electronics, including new chartplotter and radar. Unusual in a 29
footer.

That's one of interest. Also have a trawler type to check out. We shall
see.
