Thanks for your take. Your thoughts about the SK vs fins makes sense. The mixed use mission is what I have in mind. It will not cross oceans, but it could be used in many applications: canals, coastal cruising, great loop, Caribbean, etc. I'm resigned (sigh...) to the idea of using transport if...

Another vessel that caught my eye: PRIVATEER TRAWLER 50 motor yacht for sale | De Valk Yacht broker Similar to other Dutch steel boats like the Linssen Grand Sturdy line, but I've never seen them discussed here before (I searched!). They seem to have a layout more like a small trawler than the...

Nice feedback Hippocampus. Sadly, except for the LEENs, there is not much out there for powered trimarans. What got my attention with Oui Chat was the engine access and the fine hulls. I agree that Tennant made better compromises between fine entry and hull space, but I don't think engine access...

Interesting boats The other Schionning PC was mentioned earlier in this thread by Dark Side. Has standup engine rooms, but it appears they plopped a 10K genset on top of one of the engines. Seems an odd choice, but then again I'm a newbie...

Has this power cat been mentioned before? It is a Schionning design similar to one that was discussed earlier, IIRC that was notable for its efficient hull (but there were skeptics). No mention of consumption mentioned in this listing, but it has skinny entry and small engines reminiscent of the...

I've been wondering about this...the ability to mate servo-rack batteries and their internal BMS with an integrated system. Can the EG4 battery BMS communicate over can bus with Victron units (seemingly so). Any idea why the Wakespeed alternator regulator went out? Did you look at the SOK...

Regarding my lovely wife, she would want to be involved (that's just the way she is). The issue has been motion sickness. That said, she is a stickler for safety and a larger boat (if well sorted and piloted) would be a plus for her. We've both worked hard at our careers and are financially able...

Thanks all. The idea of buying a smaller vessel as a beginner makes sense, but I worry that if the boat is too small it will get too moved around, my wife will get turned off by the experiment and deem it unworkable because of lack of stability.This happened when I joined one of the local...

Thanks All for the warm welcome! Harrison is a northern suburb of NYC that is quite close to the LI Sound. Glad to hear that it's not too late. Getting into boating seems like a chicken/egg problem: finding a boat, getting insurance, finding a slip/mooring...especially for a newbie like me. I'm...

Hi All, Apologies for not doing this sooner, but I have had a ton of fun (vicariously) soaking in the wisdom offered on this site. I've hesitated to introduce myself earlier because I'm a relative noob when it comes to piloting larger vessels, and until recently, it was just fun to follow your...
