Hello everyone,
I am looking for my next boat and was looking for some recommendations / advice. I have it in my head that I would like at least a 12 knot cruise and be around 30 feet. To that end, I have been researching the albin 28, mainship pilot ii 30, and recently learned of the camano 31.
At the moment I have a 23 foot center console, but my family is growing, and we want to do some cruising in the san juans (we are based out of seattle). I was curious what other boats people might recommend? The albin 28 looks nice, but out west are marginally available, and I have my concerns that there isn't enough cabin space for cruising with two kids.
What if I were to get rid of my desire for a 12 knot cruise? What would people suggest in that 30+ foot range then?
I would like to stay under 100k after negotiations.
Thanks much
Brian
