Hello all,
My wife Michelle & I had a 19' Bayliner Cuddy when the kids were small and we loved cruising Lk Washington. It's long since sold but we've been boating with friends for the past couple years - most have power boats - but we really like motoring with our friends who have a President 41, and now we've caught The Bug.
We've been to a few boat shows, walked the slips, and have been lurking other forums as well as this site in an attempt to learn all we can before buying. We plan to pull the trigger within the next 12 months and have a budget up to $150k.
In that price range, we've found a very nice President 41 similar to our friends, but have also fallen in love with the Ocean Alexander 50, going back and forth between the MK I & MK II and although we haven't decided yet what we'll buy (still plenty of research needed) we wanted to go legit and move from lurker to participant. I'm sure we'll be asking plenty of questions even though we've learned a lot just reading many of the existing posts.
All comments and opinions on our plan or choice of yachts is welcomed.
Anyway - just wanted to say "Howdy"
