My wife and I have decided that we have had enough of flying and want to invest in a nice cruiser. We have done the camping thing in various campers so we have that type of experience behind us.
My question to all of you experienced owners out there is how big is big enough? Here is what we want to do with our boat purchase:
Spend anywhere from 3 - 7 days on the boat - likely will be located at Lake of the Ozarks. Eat/sleep/etc. on the boat without staying at a hotel. Anchor the boat at night in quiet coves. Dock at restaraunts and other entertainment venues in the evening when we want to. (boat can't be too big to do this??)
We have been looking at 30' - 34' Sundancers and Weekenders. We know that have twin engines is a must. A/C-Gen a must as well.
Is this a good sized boat for this type of usage? Any suggestions? Are we going to feel cramped after 5 or 6 days in this boat?
Sorry about the newbie questions but I have to start asked somewhere before I write a big check in a couple of weeks. Thank you in advance to all who take the time to respond. I appreciate it very much!
