What kind of boat does everyone own, if you could have your dream boat
what would it be?

I own a '96 Doral 36 Express Cruiser. My dream boat would be a 50"
Trawler.



I have a 2011 twin diesel "non-express" cruiser. It's just under 40'
long if you include everything, and, I'd guess, about four feet shorter
sans anchor pulpit and swim platform. At the moment, it is my actual
boat and my dream boat, although I am considering building either a wood
rowing/sailing boat or maybe finishing off a fiberglass sailing hull
that's up for sale.

Right now, she's sitting up on the hard at a nearby marina,
shrinkwrapped against the winter chills.



Is this a ONE OFF or is it a manufacturers stock model?



It's a production boat, based off a manufacturer's "stock model," with
some options and custom features, but, berthed next to a sistership, it
would be hard to tell the two apart, unless you knew what was standard
and what was not.
