Starcraft when I mentioned earlier that the cost of the boat wasn't really the issue I was talking Rangers and TomCats not the Sheiks dingy!! |

That Delta 70 is certainly an impressive vessel! (but with a lot of upkeep and taxes--maybe OK for two couples cruising with a full time crew to keep the boat up!)
Washers and dryers. We have had them on two boats: Motorsailors designed for ocean passages and living aboard--one 62 feet and one 46 feet. Other trawlers from 32 to 42 feet we elected not to have a Washer/Dryer. We are currently in our RV which is plumbed for a washer and a dryer--and we elected to have more storage and not the Washer dryer. My wife did 4 loads of laundry this afternoon, in about an hour and a half. During this time she found out a lot of local information, and made some new friends. To do the 4 loads in a boat sized W/D, it would take about 6 hours, no new friends, and would take about 120 gallons of water. (Thus a water maker is essential)--you might also remind the wife that the use of washers on boats are frowned upon in marinas. _________________ Bob Austin

oh she knows all of that and is very aware of water usage as she is a retired Navy Senior Chief and has plenty of sea time on ships that were constantly on water hours |

retired navy chief, no wander she wants a big boat. needs room for the crew and work parties to do the laundry. You just may need the delta. It has cabins for three crew members plus 6 guest and a 960gpd water maker. just the right size _________________ Thomas J Elliott

Heck of a deal: A 20 foot, (Must be a custom) C-Dory with a transport cradle that has 6,400 gal fuel capacity.
Can't believe the Power Ball tickets just went up to $2.oo each

And the real issues are appearing. (Emphasis added is mine.) Yup, she's not wanting to spend that retirement in a 26 foot dingy that would turn circles in the fuel tank of her last appointment.
Time to get to a CBGT therapy session and ....

You shoulda known there would be the possiblity of tempest seas when you married a Navy Senior Chief! Just buck up and purchase what you want......then be prepared to walk the plank.... ....oh, and don't forget to wear your PFD.

At the Annapolis MD boat show, there was both models of CutWater boats. One was already sold. They do cost more than my house. I did like the way they were laid out. The smaller had the generator and the a/c,heat. It also had the aft helm, was more rigged for fishing. The windows are very big and visibity is great when in the helm seat. The only way I could aford one was to sell the house, My wife and Housing market would not let me do it. They are very nice, and it looks like they could take some waves. _________________ Neal Mitchell |

Ah yes! Now I remember where I was while all of you were in Sequim in 2008! Bet you can guess! It kind of makes the same point, doesn't it! No big boat is going to go the places we can go!
