    Cruising the Caribbean best boat for our needs

Water, solids or was the SG off because it ws mixed with some other fuel? Terrible once it gets into the tanks because they are all contaminated then and it's not...

    Cruising the Caribbean best boat for our needs

    Ha ha sounds like fun. Been looking around and I do agree a 400DA would be better. I am a diesel guy and would rather have diesels, didn't think I could afford them but after some shopping around its doable. Just more planning and more research.

    Cruising the Caribbean best boat for our needs

    Thanks Jim but I have a mom, lol. I do have navigation experience, enough in my opinion. And I have had several experiences in rough seas north of Vancouver Island to Haida Guai. Very nasty waters so unless I'm in a hurricane I feel that we will be fine. An Ipad with nav app and another GPS...

    Cruising the Caribbean best boat for our needs

    Thanks Seagull I do agree with the shallow draft, not best for the seas. We have 2 weeks in the DR soon then planning 6 months renting before buying or more likely building. A one time passage is what we are thinking, if it doesn't work for us when we get there then we will sell and find...

    Cruising the Caribbean best boat for our needs

    Hello all Thanks for all your input and information, it will all be taken into consideration. We absolutely won't be living on the boat, land based. We may stretch our budget to 100k but don't want to get something too much for our needs, 3-5 day trips. I agree that planning, preparation, and...

    Cruising the Caribbean best boat for our needs

    Hey Tod that sounds reasonable. Nice looking boat you have. I don't sail, no interest, powerboat all the way. Yeah my understanding was the 320 has a 200nm range but..... yeah put all the variables in and I would go half 100 so 65 is easy. I have seen the quick weather changes flying out of...

    Hello All Thanks for your replies, wrote a long extensive one but disappeared int cyber space. We don't want a trawler and as mentioned 3-5 day adventures. The crossing from Turks to DR is 65NM from what I see. Making our way down, then taking the jump on best weather day would be our only...

    Pimp your 270 Sundeck !! Mods and ideas??

    We have been loving our Sundeck this summer, many nights sleeping under the stars! Newest (Best) addition has been the Margaritaville margarita maker but the led's and bbq are a close second. Recently added a remote control dimmer to tone down the staggering blue which is great on those dark...
