The reality is sinking in that maybe a 38' trawler is not the ideal boat in my current situation. Truth is that kids are out living their lives now, girlfriend travels a lot for work and family visits around the globe so I'm singlehanding more than not, and when not it's just the two of us. I got to thinking the other day that I'd be out on the water a lot more if I had a smaller boat, simple to dock single handing and able to cover some ground more quickly.
I've been looking at some bigger Grady's and Whalers that might fit the bill. Also interested in Down East style with bigger single diesel w/thruster and controls in cockpit, but rather rare in the PNW.
Must have's;
Comfortable berth
Some type of shower
A way to carry a dinghy, cruising I spend 90% of the time on the hook
I'm thinking of no more than 32 LOA
Something that does not look like a spaceship
Interested if anyone else has or is wrestling with this.
Any suggestions?
