My wife and I split our time currently between the East and West Coasts while we are working. We plan to purchase our next boat within 2-3 years. Our goal is part-time cruising with potential long distances/durations with a desire to cruise both the East and West Coasts. We plan to base the boat in the Puget Sound and are looking for something that is suited to the year round PNW boating environment.
We have some experience boating and a decent concept of what we are looking for in our next boat. We are hoping to move up to the 55-65’ range (3 SR). Age is flexible but we want reliable/newer systems (or priced to allow us to upgrade what is needed). We aren’t afraid of some work but we are not looking for significant deferred maintenance issues. That being said I am also sure that we have blind spots in our thinking and ideas/approaches we haven’t even begun to consider.
We are looking for a broker, knowledgeable in trawlers/long range cruisers with a national focus, based in the Puget Sound area. We would like to begin a discussion on our needs/wants/options and to help identify specific boats/types worth seeing. If anyone has any personal experience with a broker that they would recommend for our pursuit I would appreciate if you could let me know.
