A New Paradigm for Cruising

Entry Level Cruising Boat

Hi, I watched you on TV last night. Wow talk about having a light bulb turn on in your mind. Anyway can you tell me what a good boat would be to start out with would be. I far from being loaded. My idea would be to live on my boat and make my way south. I’m at the very early stages of planning so knowing what boat I should be looking at is a starting point. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can pass on. Robert West
Hi Robert: There is no simple answer to your question. I would take the time to look at lots of options to establish value. Then, buy the simplest structurally sound boat you can find. Wait f or the right situation where there is pressure to sell. Sound boats which are cosmetically challenged, where you can clean things up yourself, are always the best deal. Good Luck

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
