Thanks for all the feedback. Some of the messages were lost to the list, but I think I saw them in other responses. Clearly the first thing I need to do is get on a bunch of boats, figure out the space. I've tried to guess at how we are going to use the boat, so I need to see how different boats might fit that. Plus good advice to ask owners about what weaknesses they see with their own boats. I've narrowed my search mostly to C&C's because, as Rich notes, it's a popular boat with good resale value, plus there are lots available. Based on the advice from the listers I'll open myself up to going a bit bigger. I was initially focused on getting "the smallest boat I can live with" - thinking it would save me money, but I realize that I could end up with a boat that is too small to enjoy. I'll also focus more on boat condition rather than size -- repairs on an older boat can easily add up to more than the cost of the boat. Last I also had a good discussion that has me being less threatened by A4's. I gather they can be quieter and smoother than a diesel. Again, I'll have to get on a couple similar sized boats and hear/feel the difference. I'm sure I'll be looking for more advice as it goes forwards, Mark --------------------- Dr. Mark Bodnar B.Sc., D.C., FCCOPR(C) Bedford Chiropractic www.bedfordchiro.ca --------------------- There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. - George SantayanaOn 30/05/2013 9:49 PM, Knowles Rich wrote:
