Default Just in time for high fuel prices

A small regional builder has finished about 30 of these over the last
20 years. He's about to ramp up production.

If you're willing to go 6 knots, you can realize 12 nmpg!

Definitely not for everybody, but it will have some appeal to people
feeling the pinch at the fuel dock.

Nah. I like boats that go faster than I can jog.


It looks like he took a sailboat hull and converted it to a "trawler".

That's my story and I am sticking to it.

For my type of boating I would get far more use out of a Trailer-able Tug
like the R21-EC.

Did you know that C-Dory and C-Ranger have teamed up to build a 26-foot
version of that boat with a cabin aft of the pilothouse? Shades of the
earliest Nordic Tugs, if you asked me.

Looks like it is time to buy an aging Catalina 22 or 25; strip her mast and
sails......and just cruise. With a swing hull, you could go lots of places
for very darn little money, on a seaworthy hull. You can buy an older boat
for $2,000 to $10,000...complete with an outboard ......on Boatraderonline
today.
