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.

Right now I have a 16 foot Brockway type skiff with a 25
horse.
Really
set up for party more than work though with large decks, side
handles
for swimming and a custom folding ladder.. My dream boat is a
simple 21
foot center console with an adequate outboard.. I would like
to
be
capable of 25-30 mph with a couple passengers.

My little 18' Key West might be right up your alley. I love it.

Oh **** 'cha... I saw it at the show with the Spaceman, it would
make a
good river cruiser... But now that I think of it, my needs may
have
changed in the last couple years, I think I might want a small
cuddy too
like the one I was going to build the year I moved to take care
of
dad..
Just spaced out for a few this afternoon, wasn't thinking.

When looking at a small cuddy at a boat show, the salesman said,
"The cabin
becomes nothing more than a storage closet."

Then we bought the 21' Proline with the cuddy. Yup, the salesman
was
right. It
became a place to store rods, reels, etc. With the CC, I'm forced
to
put stuff
away, where it belongs, rather than just put it in the cabin for
the
next time.

John, you're right. Small cuddies are glorified enclosed bow boats,
and yes, it's a good place for storage, and it keeps everything dry
and out of the sun... but you!

At 6'4" I couldn't sleep in the cuddie of my 23' Marquis if I had
to.
But I'm going to take advantage of the space and do some cool things
with it. It seems there's lots of wasted space under the flooring
and
here about.

After examining (thank you) the lay out of your camper trailer, I
saw
how the builders made the absolute maximum creature comforts in the
space provided. My craftsman/carpenter buddy and I are working out
details for the modding.

That sounds exciting!

What are you planning to do in there?

Not really sure yet, John. Not any room for a shower or a real 'head'
but,,, small sink and pressured water. even hot water can be
arranged... I'll be checking out camper/RV components for a while.

They make seat covers for Home Depot buckets.

What more could you want?

Hey, that's an idea but it takes up too much interior room. What's the
matter with hanging it over the side? Wife might not like the idea
but I'd say she could get used to it......

Reply:
Problem with the bucket models is they turn over a lot easier and then
spill
a lot easier than a $60 Porta-potti.

I would speculate that to be true as well. and neither one of us would
like that.

Know that to be true. Not me, but a very close relative about 45 years ago
in a hunting camper. Hit a pothole and **** happens.
