Just started shopping for the next boat

[RonR]

Ya, we don't know what we are looking for is the problem.
But its not a bad problem to have..

 

[Kingston Mariner]

Nope, we live in Lake Stevens, but each work in Everett.
But please explain, we may have a work around to get on the short list?

When we were looking for moorage recently we found that most marinas owned by a port district gave preference to applicants who lived within their port district. Such applicants would be placed on the waiting list ahead of those who did not live within the port district.

Ok, so it is time to move then.

Thank you everyone, we ended up buying an Egg Harbor. Wife and I each made compromises. I got a boat, she got something with a lot of windows and open space.

 

[Comodave]

Congrats on your new boat. We need photos...

A fine looking boat. And Congrats. Looks like you will have some fun.

Cheers,

 

[Comodave]

It has beautiful lines.

 

[RonR]

I should re-word it, we are in the process of buying, survey is on the 5th of September. I think it will be just fine, but there is a reason you hire a pro!

 

[Comodave]

Ok, when you get it we will need photos...

I don't consider it a Trawler, but ya got to walk before you run... or something like that.

Uh, in this case maybe it's running before crawling.

True!

You don't see a lot of that style boat with dink davits aft like that. Looks like a good setup to go cruise but not so much for fishing. You can just leave it behind for fishing days.

We plan on leaving it at the dock when we head out to fish for Halibut. And we will pull the back top off as well. Other than that we just do a little light crabbing and plan on a bunch of Island hopping!

The dink is heavy, were wondering if were better off towing it, or stowing it while on a 3 hour cruze !

 

[Sailor of Fortune]

I would tow it for short cruise.

 

[RonR]

And about a year later we are looking at another boat !

 

[Max Simmons]

Any hints?

 

[RonR]

Same make/style, just a few years newer, diesel, few feet longer.

Ahhhh, yes, two footitus! I know it well!

 

[Comodave]

Go for more than 2 feet bigger and skip selling it and buying one 4foot bigger. Go at least 4 feet bigger. Preferably 6 to 8 feet bigger.

Going from a 33’ to a 48’ so 15’ should do the trick!
