Default Ideal size boat

NOYB,
The problem with this boat is it doesn't have "Harry Hours" on the boat.
If it had Harry Hours on the boat it would be worth $20,000 more. I
wouldn't feel comfortable buying any boat that didn't have Harry Hours on
the boat. I just wouldn't bet on it being a good boat or a bad boat.

We all occasionally wish for a larger boat but would we really buy one
if we were able? I have decided "No", my 28' S2 is ideal for me. A
larger boat would have more to go wrong and require more expense. My
28 is ideal for me as she is large enough to do a lot of things but
small enough for me to easily single-hand which I do a lot. The older
I get, the happier I am to not have a larger boat. This past 6 months
is the first time I have ever had her in a marina ( I kept her at pvt
docks for years) and I have noticed what I have heard about for years,
"A boats use is inversely proportional to her length". Do others here
have a simialr experience of realizing they do not want a bigger boat?

I go through the 'bigger boat' desires every year. After a while I
convince myself
that the 21'er I've got does what I want to do just fine.

But, if Harry were to make me a super deal on that Parker, I'd give it
serious
thought.



There's a boat similar to mine on Boat Trader for $69,000. It has a
lesser engine, a lesser trailer, but has radar. Might be an "equivalent."
Assume for the moment it is. What's your best offer?


There's an '02 on thehulltruth.com for $53,500:
