What would you look for that you don't have in the Navigator?

If you really want a long range, go anywhere kind of boat, take a look
at the Nordhavns. Pricey, but first rate in every respect:

If I had long range cruising in our immediate plans, I'd probably keep the
Navigator. Although not as fuel efficient as a trawler, it's not that bad
(about 25-27 gals/hour at 19 kts), handles well and is a very comfortable
boat. Unfortunately, with the current activities at the home front plus
providing increasing care for elderly parents, I don't see any serious
boating travel for a while. Maybe in a few years.

Meanwhile, we will do local jaunts with the GB. Although certainly capable
of long-range cruising, it is a bit too small for extended living aboard,
plus I still like the added security of twins.
