Sorry if I am posting here - as I tried to post in Boat Search 101 but could only see how to reply? And it was suggested I start a new thread
Hi Everyone,
My husband and I are looking at doing the loop in '18. We will be switching from sail to power. Our dream is an American or Nordic Tug but the prices might be too high for our comfort level.
So, we have done endless boat searches on Yachtworld.....we are looking for a trawler/tug style boat in the 34-36 foot range - we do not want a v-berth (had enough of that with our sailboat). We are uncertain about a flybridge and would like a full fridge (although hubby can make modifications for this after purchase).
We are Canadian so we have to keep that in mind as exchange for us right now is 30% + so in the 100,000 US range would be ok...
Have checked out all the usual suspects, Grand Banks, CHB, Marine Trader, Mainship (great but too much money).
Older doesn't scare us as we love the wood and hubby is a mechanic.
So....all boat model suggestions are welcome
