Go with the Bertram. Their engineering and construction quality is
the best I've seen.

Bring money.

Anybody know about these boats? I saw one this weekend tied up to a dock in
Marco:

Hi JimH.: I would like to have the Gozzard G53 MY as seen on this
site. www.gozzard.com This is very close to Bayfield and is a
perfect boat for cruising anywhere. I just love it.

I could sit in the pilot house and read this new book that I received
today in the mail. It is called "The War on Christmas" and it was
sent to me by a real gentleman!

Thanks for sending it to me.

You are quite welcome Jim.

BTW: Another nice choice of boat, as was Chucks.. ;-)

The Gozzard is made in Canada, therfore it is a duty free boat for any
of you American buyers. The fit and finish of this vessel is the
finest I have ever seen. It is a work of art and so beautiful on the
water. It is also less expensive than the Nordhaven. The Gozzard is
made in the next harbor to the north of Bayfield, in Goderich Ontario.

I'm easy. I'd settle for this on the Bay.

But, if money were absolutely no object, I'd take the Nordhavn!

First of all, what style would you choose.......cruiser, motor yacht, pilot
house, trawler, convertible, tug, catamaran, sailboat or other?

Now what specific make and model?


Easy for me - The Azimut 50.

Must have been a BIG lottery payout!

I am very happy with my 28' S2 and do not want a bigger boat. I might
buy a 14' Laser just for fun. Bigger boats =bigger problems and less
fun.

I think if price was no object I'd get a small all-weather freighter
and have it refitted for my personal use.

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

I've actually seen a few of those conversions, OK if you want a deep
draft long range vessel that looks like a freighter. Lots of storage
space that's for sure.
