Guys, you are amazing. I appreciate the insight. Sorry for the delayed reply. Very good points I hadn't considered before. The price, and layout, would be fine for our first boat, but after your valid points, I may have more to consider when finalizing a choice. Again, thank you.

You are correct, the hull is Canadian, I saw that in one of my findings, totally forgot to mention that. The fiberglass hull was built in New Brunswick Canada (C & M Marine). From one of the Websites I found: The fiberglass hull was built in New Brunswick Canada (C & M Marine) in 2000. The...

I am looking at 2000 44 Custom Trawler - " The Isle of Lucy" (Not going to post the link, for fear of getting yelled at. Google it, it'll show up as one of the first on the list) Anyway, I've been trying to figure out if its been listed for 2 years, or if it's been Re-Listed. To me, it doesn't...

Kinda odd question, but I'd thought I'd ask. I've seen and read some low dollar sales of Yachts, where there are read flags when a boat is listed for sale, at lower price points. Obviously buyer beware. And to be clear, this isn't a solicitation of buying advice per-se, just a general...

Not for a few years still. Thank you though.

Saw this the other day when I was lookin' and dreamin'. She's a pretty boat.

Just knowing its more or less a thing that's either possible or already a feature of the boats we're looking at, actually helps quite a bit. Knowing that takes a big question mark off the table. Makes it a smaller one. :lol: I agree with the winch though. I'm of the mind, less mechanical the...

No winter's for us. I'm a desert rat, no way do I wana linger up north more then I need to. :lol: Bimini I'm ok with, and looking at Nordhaven's lastnight on Youtube of all places, the boat broker actually mentioned the clearance specifically, and even called out the Chicago bridge. Of course...

I actually found that Capt John's website awhile back, I refer to it often, whenever I get lost in all the confusing information. :lol: The AGLCA I just learned of last week.

That's the presentation we just watched! I'll join them too. * AGLCA Does require membership fees to join, to use the forum. So I'll bookmark this for the time being.

Interesting, I'll check out that guide for sure. It might get us closer approximation. I don't mind having to mod the boat down those last few feet, if able anyway. I'm not a HUGE fan of the Fly bridge, but I can see the benefits. Better visuals. Anyway, thank you all for the responses. I...

Like, if I could combine Saber, GB, and Mainship designs... That'd be awesome. LOL I kid. Anyway, atleast the wife is lookin at boats too now, and we're coming up with more questions that are nuanced then my initial research had led me to. The great loop will be our starter location...

Whoa, I did not get any notifications from all these responses. So I apologize for the delayed followup. This is GREAT information. Right now, I'm finding it extremely difficult to find a straight answer on boat sales pages. I chose the GB as a control in this comparison, because I found...

Alright, I'm going to show my newbness here with his question. I did find a post a few years ago that asked this question, but it didn't really answer the original question. I'm looking around for boats, and displacement I can handle. That seems to be consistent. I'm looking for a boat to go...

Thank you everyone. Started finding updated Live Aboard video's on Youtube to watch, found one with really good approximation to our target life style, and the boat as well. I have to say, I'm more confident that its not as much of a pipe dream as I had initially thought.
