I simply do not understand the Sea Piper design where you have to go outside to access the forward cabin and head. That center cockpit area seems a bit of a waste and the forward cabin blocks your view from the pilothouse. And none of that seems necessary.

A 200 or 225 6 cylinder that weighs close to most 150 4 cylinders is going to get some attention, especially where the power limitation is based upon the weight of the motor.

This link to Three Rivers C-Dory selection shows some selected prices. The details do count, so note the equipment included when comparing prices. Most would add an electronics suite and some sort of bimini or cockpit enclosure. https://www.threeriversmarineinc.com/c-dory

Ken, your 25 is gorgeous and the photos tell the tale that NMI is putting out a quality product now. I do think that Marc at Wefing's made a serious attempt at marketing a VERY nice Tomcat, with a "Ranger Blue" hull and many nice upgrades, and he could not get his money out of it in over a...

Foggy posted----"Any thoughts on how "users" help others in general or is their using merely self satisfying indulgment?" Which led me to wonder; why should someone getting intoxicated, on anything whatsoever, be concerned with "helping others"? When one enjoys wine are they concerned with...

That's what I figured, so borrowing a trailer means borrowing from someone who has the same boat. Thanks Harvey.

I know nothing about boat trailers. Does a boat require a specific trailer set up for it's exact shape, or are there generic trailers setups that can work with a variety of boats of the same size?

-----"That is one FUGLY boat." Can't argue with that! But i do believe that it would look really nice from the inside looking out. The interior is pretty amazing for a 20 foot boat with stand-up head and two sleeping stations selling for under $60K. And I could live with 14mpg. Just not sure...

Yeah Jason I've looked at both of your linked boats. I like a lot of the thinking behind the EcoTrawler 33, such as aluminum hull, no through hulls below waterline, composting toilet, excellent fuel economy, etc. but they go for over $200K with no more usable space than a C-25. I have sympathy...

Jason I'm retiring in one to two years and intend to spend my time and money on a boat. In the meantime I check out-----everything! I'm not sold on this Haber, I just think it an interesting design and another way to approach coastal cruising. I'm not going to do diesel in any form (though I...

Au contraire Dr. Bob, the Mini Reporter carries a C rating, so while nowhere near a C-Dory's capability it at least is not quite so restricted. At about the 7:15 mark this linked video shows them operating in a large open bay with a bit of chop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtnpEk654ms...

----"The TCH-COOH has no correlation to degree of impairment." Dr. Bob, do you know of any test that does show degree of impairment?

Here are a bunch of photos and other info: https://www.rosboroughboatsusa.com/22-sisu I've always admired the Sisu hull form, would have to see the cabin version in person.

I emailed the guy importing these and he indicated that they begin around $60K with standard equipment, but of course there are options. Now, about this boat being "odd", well, the European websites mention that the boat can be powered by human power, with two bike-peddling stations driving an...

http://haber-yachts.com/index.php?page=en-hb20-g Link is to photos of a Haber 20 Mini Reporter, and the boat looks as strange as it's name! Built in Poland and just now being imported to US, this is a full displacement flat bottomed trailer trawer powered by a tiny outboard, gets amazing MPG...

Marc, will you be showing one of these at The Wharf boat show in Orange Beach?

This appears to be the same boat that was purchased in April of this year and discussed in this thread linked below. The previous purchaser did not keep it very long, and I would want to know why. But when people talk about resale value on C-Dorys, dang, what other 33 year old 18-foot trailer...

rogerbum, Jeanneau has been very confusing with their models and names, but they make two different series of Merry Fisher. One, now called the "Marlin" has full walkaround on both sides of the narrow day cabin. The cruising oriented boat I linked to has the much larger cabin offset to port so...

I continue to research outboard cruisers, of all types, running down a list of wants and needs and don't-wants and will-not-haves. And I found a boat with a great layout that has a lot of cool features and some smart thinking on this Merry Fisher 895. Easy access on and off the boat, easy...

Thanks for info, Dreamer.
