OK, lets try for some real info this time and no insults. Do so-
called offshore boats really have good scuppers? Can anybody provide
a link to a pic of such?
Next, areas below the deck, are they sealed on offshore boats or
accessible via a hatch? How much do said hatches leak? (my sealed
compartments have 6" screw in type access ports).

I like Pasco. Interesting that he says to seal up scuppers if they
are too low and rely on bilge pumps.

In the pic he gave, the scupper was even with the cockpit sole, so why
have a bilge pump? Where is the pump pumping if the deck is supposed
to be sealed?

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Honest to goodness, sir, you have no business heading 50 miles out into
the Atlantic Ocean in a little outboard boat, and I mean no insult.



I agree.

When we were in Florida (Jupiter) even the big boats planning the crossing
would assemble down by Peanut Island, wait for good weather, then all make
the crossing together.

Do you still have your place in Florida? When my mother moved to Florida
she first lived in the Jupiter area, but then moved south to W. Palm
Beach. Too far south in Florida for me to live; I cannot tolerate that
sort of heat, but...in the winter, it's a great place to visit.

Nope. Sold it a month after "Wilma" ..... but not really because of it.
Mrs.E. missed the family and we were spending less and less time down there.

I absolutely loved it during the winter months, but I'd never last during
the summer.

Two things I regret doing:

1. Selling the Florida house.
2. Surprise! ..... selling the Grand Banks.

The Navigator was just too big and although I liked it a lot, it didn't make
sense to keep because most of the time I am the only one using the boats.
It was too big to easily single-hand.

The GB was a fun boat, although slow as molasses in the winter. But, it
had character, I could single-hand it and you sure couldn't beat the fuel
efficiency.

The Mainship is ok .... but it's just another boat. It just doesn't have
the unique, nautical tradition of the GB.

So, we will see how things go. I might be shopping again before next
season.

There are quite a few low volume builders in your neck of the woods who
put out some distinctive 30-36 footers you'd probably like. If you
haven't been there, visit the Legacy factory. Legacy's 32' is a dream
boat. But these days, who knows if any of these builders will stay in
business.

If we move back to Florida, it won't be any farther south than Palm
Coast. I like the seasonal changes of northern Florida.

One of your favorite Bozo Bin occupants has a very nice place in northern
Florida. Reminds me a lot of New England.

Really? I lived in northern Florida for nearly six years. The live oaks
were pretty, but the area never reminded me of New England. I have some
buddies living in northern Florida, about as far "north" as you can
get, in Fernandina Beach, and as much as I like that area, it doesn't
remind me of New England, either.

Now, Tallahassee, other than the climate and the flora, is closer to New
England in looks...with the rolling hills, et cetera.

So, with no hull to deck joint and no liner and with truly sealed deck
and large scuppers, my boat could be better offshore (except for her
deadrise) than many open offshore boats? Seems reasonable, scuppers
might be easy to make.

Tallahassee looks line New England? You cannot be serious. I am in
Tallahassee and looking out my window, the vegetation is so thick you
cannot see more than 2' into it. Kudzu will kidnap you if you dont
move fast enough and we have more humidity in a cubic foot of air than
in most New England lakes. True, it isnt S. Fl but It sure isnt NE.

Just be sure to stop at a seafood restaurant first for one of those
nifty placemat charts and you'll be all set.
