Relax... Visit places / sleep on it, entertain etc. I was thinking about
25
to 30 feet.

You're in the right range if you're talking 2-3 people, max. I might go to
the top of the range. There's a couple who have been cruising all over the
US for several years aboard a 27' Albin. I have a 32 Luhrs that has a great
aft deck and cabin for entertaining, but gets a little tight for three of us
after living aboard for more than about 4-5 days. If she had less cockpit
deck and more cabin, she'd be more livable in the longer term. Enjoy.

Gould,, when you quote some one,, you use the "" "" right???

But why would you change the quote???

Hey,, I boat in some of the most dangerous waters in the world. Have my
whole life. Up north at the cottage I have a 15foot runabout, bow rider with
a 70hp Johnson with ski bar and we have a lot of fun with it, and I have a
larger boat, and both boats handle differently (because of their size) in
dangerous waters.

So Gould, in answer to your question,,

"""Hey Tuuk, do you have a boat or are you just hanging out for the
politics?"""

(notice I didn't change any of your words around? I did a cut and paste
within your quotation but didn't change any words, remove or add words, I
completely quoted you as you spoke)

In answer to your question,,,,,, yes,,,,,

And next time you quote someone, and use quotation marks, you should
accurately quote that person, or else why bother?

Your not too smart are you there Gould?? Your going to have to give the head
a shake over that one,, looks like your fitting in to your puppet master's
agenda.

I think you are liking the politics more than most, remember the caller
asked about size of a first boat, you seem to think that he can jump into
the largest one possible, I suggested he should start small, now how you
morons are spinning that around to every stupidity is only wasting time and
not helping the caller. And personally, I think your advice of just buying
the biggest boat possible to maintain comfort lacks intelligence, prudence
and good advice. Of course there is a probability of danger in anysize boat
but for a rookie or newbie as he describes himself, there is a much higher
probability that he will have problems should his first boat be one much
bigger than he could handle. Remember, he is asking a group of professionals
or life long boaters for their advice, dont confuse the caller with your
bull**** politics and let the boaters answer. Dont skew the answers either.
But do give your head a shake....As I said, I boat in some of the most
dangerous waters in the world, I see jet skiers, I see rookies, lots of
boaters, and we actually have separate laws in our area that boaters must
obey. It is a good thing also.

...
Especially should your
boating waters be dangerous, it only adds more risks.

What??? The only way this is true is if you're saying that you risk less
financial loss if a small boat sinks, compared with a larger one. Other
than
that, the statement makes absolutely no sense.


Glad somebody else noticed that, too.

"If the water is dangerous, a small boat is better." NOT!

Hey Tuuk, do you have a boat or are you just hanging out for the politics?

Tuuk, when you give your head I shake I'm sure there's a rattling sound.

I suggested the OP buy a baot that suits his needs, and spend time at the very
beginning learning to operate it.

How you twist that around to "buy the biggest boat possible" is a mystery.
Right up there with where elephants die.
