But wouldn't a boat of the size I mentioned be powered with a decent

Seems like it would be, but I haven't really looked into it.

You have a _lot_ of homework ahead of you.


Getting the right prop is a major deal. Major controversy over fixed
2 blade fixed or 3 blade fixed because the 3 blade fixed hurts sailing
performance about 1/2 kt but the 3 blade gives better motoring
performance. There is a company that makes an oversize plastic
composite prop called PerfectPitch that makes up for this but they are
sorta unknown.
Then, there are the folding props..................


Larry is a jerk. In any case, I ask again... wouldn't a newer boat in the
size I mentioned from a reputable US manufacturer be powered properly?


I'm not a jerk. You are throwing around all of this information and
misinformation and you even have a budget attached to it. You are also
asking questions that are rather basic.

First it was a $2K Hobie and now it's a $300K sailing cruiser.

Yes, you have a lot of homework to do. That is a very fair statement.


Yes, you're a jerk and you don't know how to read. I defined a budget in my
first post on the subject of boat buying. Go read for yourself.

If you don't like basic questions (or more likely you're unable to answer
them), then kindly shut up and let other people answer them instead of
pushing your face into the discussion.

First, I owned a $2K Hobie a long time ago. More recently, I was considering
a Walker Bay for up here. I live 200 MILES from SF. I have relatives who
want to sail UP HERE. I'm also considering going in on a boat with my
friend, etc.

Yes, you're a jerk. That's is a very fair statement.
