hehe, i knew it would turn into a your school sucks thread :smt001...I went to the Univ of RI. 1st win this year in like 3 seasons, everyone got all excited, then got their a$$ kicked the next week, and everyone is back in hiding again.

if my daughter transfers to any other school, she's on her own. i already threw away too much money for her to lose credits (and now I am biased, I really do like U of M campus).
(i don't know a lot about the other schools reps, but I guess i can confer a lot from the bayliner comment :smt043).

thanks again for the BOAT comments...

...Would we drive each other crazy living on the boat (we work remotely, and would actually be trying to do work on the boat too)? I know a Trawler or Sedan Bridge might make more sense, but I really like the Sundancer....

......

I should have added more details. I would want something that I can cruise up and down the FL coast (not just stay in one marina all the time).....My biggest concern for space is that we both spend lots of time on the phone on conference calls or with customers (more so my wife than me, so I would probably get kicked out more often). I would probably spend more time working at local starbucks, stealing their wifi.....

First of all, welcome to CSR!

Vacationing and taking long trips is one thing, but working on the boat is another. Space and privacy will be your biggest challenges. Try having conference calls at the same time and I'm positive that after 2nd call you'll be looking at the alternatives from a Sundancer. It seams like no matter what you'll pick as your next boat will be a huge jump up and learning curve from what you're used to have. For this reason I'd suggest to start attending boat shows and dealerships and take your time to learn about different boats and how you can see yourself in them considering how you plan on using them. It's a huge expense to buy and buying is only the beginning. So, it's important to get what fits you best, b/c the upgrade to another will cost a great deal of money. Talk to brokers and boat owners to get a feel for it all. This is the time to absorb tons of info that will be coming at you. Take your time before jumping into conclusions. As you know for the most people it's the process that takes years of learning and slowly upgrading from smaller cruiser to something what they thought is the best next boat.

Few years ago, my daughter summarized it pretty well. She said that when you're on the express cruiser style boats you feel like you're on a boat, but when you're on a bridge boat you feel like you're in the floating house.

Good luck with whatever you choose. It's very exciting process.
