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 1997 21' Tracker Fishin Barge pontoon and a 1967 Morgan 24
sailboat.
Dreamboat? Probably 37' Meadowlark leeboard ketch.

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.

What happened to the 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta boat? Why would you have
two boats of similar type?

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

Presently, I have a 1977 Marquis 23' cuddie, with a GM 305 and alpha1.
I'm working on and outfitting for a long haul river cruise this
summer. i also have a 1983 18' Chris Craft Scorpion 1ith a GM 3.0
mercruiser alpha 1. Which is a 'hook up 'n go' runabout which it's
used at the local lake a lot. It''s a bit cramped ofr my frame, but a
cool and fun (yet noisy) little boat.

Also I bought a 30' Pontoon and trailer this summer. It was a "gotta
have!' deal and the previous owner called me and asked if I'd sell it
back to him. I'm considering it seeing that it's well just too big for
my needs. Plus it has a 1977 Johnson Sea Horse v-4 85 HP that is a
good engine, but they're a gas hog by todays standards (and economy!)
and I'm getting leery of the future fuels and the increase in ethanol.

Plus, I've scabbed, scrapped and disposed of various parts boats.

I'd go with a Gunboat 66 at $4.5M.
