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?

A flushing model with a holding tank?

Your boy, Don, doesn't have a steering wheel. *Are you going to trash
him when he returns?
