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.

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?

with the 2400 BHP engines.

Did you check out the displacement on that baby? 126,500 lbs. Woa!

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

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

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.

50-feet? Somebody else's money?
I've always been partial to these:

There's one for sale at my marina. Been drooling over it for a couple of
months. 50 footer, with stabilizers. Awesome.

You retired guys have too much time on your hands. I couldn't stand being
on something so slooooooooowww.

For me, it's a toss up:

IF I had the money, that Viking would be tempting.

I've ridden on one, drove it around, it's a sweet ride. Great to fish
off of too.

One other I'd consider is this:

http://www.caboyachts.com/yachts/52X...ssOverview.asp

I've been on one of these too - very sweet.

Cabos are nice...very well-built. But I've heard mixed opinions on how well
they ride.

I've never heard a negative about the Vikings.

I have friends with Noosa Cats from Oz. the 40' is nice, and cruises in the
high 20's.

Go with the Bertram. Their engineering and construction quality is

Bring money.
