| Love the look of the seasport 2800 commander towable with my truck but more beam and room inside. Fuel economy and price is a little crazy but I really don’t want to step up to 8’6” of beam. https://seasportboats.com/boat/commander-2800/ |

The 2800 is tempting but the price is just not doable for me. Also if I was to look at a 2800 it would be the i/o diesel. The fuel mileage has to be what I am used to . I can afford to run my boat but Not some thing that gets worse fuel mileage. The 2800 with a diesel has a flat deck which is Susan's big must have. Mine is fuel economy and trailable. we currently get 2.3 standard mpg and want the next boat to be close to that or better.

Agree. Center island queen is the way to go. The Admiral would not like climbing over me to hit the head at 0 dark 30.
We have a list of needs vs wants:
Fiberglass decks. No teak.
Galley up.
No wet head. Separate shower is a must.
Centerline queen or mid cabin walk-around bed (like the 43’ Norhavn)
Good fuel economy
“Full size” refrigerator/freezer
Diesel powered
Crane or mast & boom. I’d want a bigger dinghy.
Propane cooking
Water maker or room to install one
Fly bridge would be nice but not a requirement
Two cabins would be nice

| Yes. Lot to like. Love the “salty look”. Like a commercial fishing boat. I’m finally retiring so my search continues. I’m on waiting lists for slips. I’m in no rush, however. |

Those are so nice. We are moored next to a newer one in Kingston. It definitely jumped up my list of dream boats. Any idea on price? I was guessing at least 300K… |

My only issue with the Seasport is if you are stepping up in size, price and comfort you should also be able to have better viewing as a passenger and captain. New Zealand boats have been leading the way in one piece windshields and also accordion style glass doors while Pursuit and other in the US have nice windshields and side windows https://www.pursuitboats.com/OS325.php
We had an amazing humpback whale show two weeks ago from our cockpit but my buddy and his son were viewing from in the cabin and it wasn’t the same. |

We had a 2007 22 Cruiser and wanted something a bit bigger with an enclosed head. After looking at the Cutwaters, Rangers, Ocean Sports, SeaSports we moved up a whole 8” to a 2018 23 Venture. Guess we ended up with .667 foot-itis and no enclosed head.
Enjoy the boat dreaming!

Up, Down, and Sideways with boat purchases. I have personally done it all. Went as far up as 42' with twin diesels, diesel generator, deep freezer, 2 bedroom/ 2 bath.
Now I am down to the 22 Angler, I am very happy.
Depends on your " dream " , money resources willing to spend, and present desired use.
Sometimes the dream causes reality to be stretched a bit. But it is still FUN. |
