Did I miss the post about why the Camano Troll is up for sale ?
What prompted the decision ?
And what are you eyeing now ?

I did a double take when I saw this thread title! Lol.

The Camano 31 is an awesome boat and has a very loyal fanbase (which can be seen at Camano Pacific owners or ECCO). I like the boat a lot!

The only reason why I'm selling her is because I'm officially a fulltime live aboard now. I've been aboard since late September. I would like a 40'+ boat that has two staterooms, more storage and living space. Living on a Camano is by no means cramped and everything is laid out nicely but hey, it's still only a 30 foot boat and I have to live here 24/7, 365! This winter will be a great test though because I highly doubt my boat will sell until next spring. Gonna be fun this winter on the Camano!....and cold!

There are a few used boats that are on the top of my list with my budget of $200k. I'll list them in order of my preference.

1. Mainship 400 trawler (preferably 2005 and up)

2. Grand Banks 42 classic (post 1986)

3. Heritage East 36 ( post 2000). The Heritage is a little smaller than what I want but the layout is awesome! Very cool boat and bang for buck is high.

4. Bayliner 4788 (post mid 1990s).

5. Monk 36 (preferably 2000 and up)


We shall see. Gonna be an interesting 2019. Lots of changes!

Jason, G;lad to see you are still around. I was wondering there for a while.

You might want to check out Capn Charlies song "Big Bad Bayliner" on his "So Many Islands .... So little time" CD. Just in case, before you go over to the BIG B-Boat side.

"4. Bayliner 4788 (post mid 1990s)."


Check out his web site and music here.:

One of these should work.

Jason,
Also look at the Heritage 40/42, as well as other SunDeck trawlers in that same category.

Another favorite is the Defever 44. The GB is a "pretty boat"--lots of varnish--and generally well made. But I find the furniture uncomfortable--unless modified.

My personal feeling is that the 40 to 49 foot "Sundeck Trawlers" are the best of liveaboards. We had a Symbol 41--very similar to the Heritage--maybe a step above in decor. The reason to go up to 49' is to get a cockpit aft. One advantage of the SunDeck boats, is that you can reach the flying bridge from lower station or pilot house, without going outside onto the deck and. exposing yourself to risks. Also have some very nice open air living areas--which the trunk cabin trawlers don't have.

Not much of a cruiser (though still a boat). Lots of space though.

Lots of liveability, and (as in that article) add a smaller cruising boat for traveling. Good solution.

Ssobol and James: NO WAY! A houseboat?? I use my boat (a lot) and now I live on it. I'm willing to compromise but that not much. Lol.

There are a few houseboats at my marina. Not my bag at all.

I do appreciate the detailed writeup and love that went into those plans though. Thanks for sharing.

I'd have one of those drifter houseboats and another smaller boat like a CD-25 or a Ranger tied up out back for cruising.

Wow, that place sold for $700k in 2013. Just like Boston real estate.

Well reading the replies was thoughtful, and you have been on an interesting journey.
And I admire you being able to void yourself of all the STUFF we accumulate in life. Now, I better head to my garage, and try to throw out some of my treasures.
Chromer knows I have a lot of treasures, so he better NOT chime in.

I saw something like that "Drifter" in a pretty protected bay on the south west side of Vancouver Island. It had 2 outboards on the stern, I think 50's and a 9.9 on the bow. The owner said he brought it over from Vancouver. That took him 3 weeks.

This is another one I saw, In the desert near Boise.
