    What a difference 11 months make! We joined a year ago next month with questions about a certain brand of boat. Since then we have bought a boat. A completely different brand. Bought the boat with all of that entails, moved the boat from the Chesapeake to the gulf side of Florida and have...

    Graduating from a Sailboat to a Trawler

    On the point about brands; After a search of a handful of brands we were pretty specifically focused on, we ended up buying a brand we never heard of. The lesson we learned is it’s ok to focus on a brand or a short list of brands but know there is more out there beyond your focus.

    As I am sure many of you are as well, I have been around long enough to verify what BruceK was saying about the historical quality of Japanese and Korean products. There was a time when products coming from this two countries were most definitely inferior. Not the case today! Politics aside...

    This is great advice. In a way you are scaring me, but perhaps that's a good thing. You are right, I have decided on the Mainship 34 Trawler before I have really even looked at and evaluated these boats. The part that is scary is the financial part. If we make an expensive mistake or error...
