Hello Everyone,
New to forum but not to boating. Just sold our 1978 Tollycraft 30' Sedan Flybridge. Really loved the boat but the engineroom was getting to be just too much for working on. Plus the wife and I both would like some more overall room in the sleeping area etc.
We are looking for a boat in the 36-48' category, would prefer a semi-displacement hull and diesel (single or twin). Living in the Seattle area I would like to make it a goal to travel up to Alaska one day so the boat would need to be stout for sure. Budget wise I'm thinking of trying to stay under $150K. Really do not want outside wood, the simpler the better and that goes for all the systems on the boat.
Just took a tour of the American Tug factory and really liked what I saw, but no way I could afford that...unless the lottery ticket I bought this weekend hits!
I like the Great Harbour N-37 but looks like they are only on the East coast. I have been looking online at some older Ocean Alexander's which look like they might fit the bill. Even some of the bigger Tollycrafts, they are built like tanks just need to find the right size/stuff relationship.
Well enough about me for now, I'm sure you will see me trolling around the site learning as much as I can.
Thanks,
Dickson
