I've read hints of folks moving from trawlers to smaller and faster boats in a few articles in Pacific Yachting. But I will point you to the video below, you only need to listen to the first minute of it, a review of a Cutwater 30. In it the sales guy talks of those moving from larger boats to something smaller, cheaper to operate, maintain, and store. Easier to cruise. Yes I do realize its a sales person pushing a product, but as a former sales person in the insurance industry, we do tell the truth about the product, if you don't you eventually get caught out. And the old IBM sales training course taught you how to handle objections (problems).
Some of the boats aren't faster but if you do purchase a Cutwater, you'll definitely be cruising probably at the fastest you ever have.
In a way, it makes sense, similar to a sailboater transitioning to a trawler for easy of use, same thing only different. I know there are express cruiser types on this forum, many of the Chris Craft gang and types like me.
So my question is: have you stepped down from a larger boat to a significantly smaller one, not necessarily an express cruiser, just something smaller?
