Re: If you could have ANY boat...

My dream boat is, in all reality, a Crownline 240EX with a Volvo Penta DP and a lot of ponies pushing her.:D Oh yeah, and I want the exact same color scheme and patern I have on my boat now.

The unpainted gray aluminum hull and the general shape screams "Stay Away" to pirates. Considering it has the 6000+ nautical mile range, this could really come in handy since it can easily cruise to any port in the world and piracy is on the rise.

Re: If you could have ANY boat...

All kidding and dreaming aside, I'd really like to find an old wooden Cris Craft that needs TLC. I'm a mechanic and my dad's a retired carpenter. I know he'd enjoy a project we could tackle together. We had fun getting my old Johnson Surfer ship shape. I think he'd like it even more if it was made of wood.

To keep it in the realm of somewhat realistic...
If it was just up to me I'd go for a Wellcraft 29' Scarab with a single 502MAG/Bravo I.

With the wife in the picture ;), I'd go with a Wellcraft Prima 287 with twin 4.3L V6's.

If we are talking money is no object, you just won $### mil loto, then I would go for something like a 40' Nordic or Krogen Tug to live aboard and do the Great Loop. Winter in FL, summer in the Great Lakes.

Cobalt 373 Yacht. Beautiful lines, great interior, twin 496 Mag HO Bravo 3's w/Axius system. Freakin beautiful boat. The 46 is also nice, but I don't need anything that big. A nice Cobalt 242WSS would be good as a play boat.

If any of the Starcraft guys come in here and say anything other than an Islander or a 22' SuperSport I'm throwin' 'em out of the club :)

Whats the deal with Starcraft? Why do they seem to have such a strong following? Are they just that good?

They are fairly common and easy to restore and customize.

Dashew Offshore FPB. Low maintenance, absurdly over-built, very thrifty, excellent seakeeping and ride, and crazy range.

I love the functional looks and apparent performance, I wonder what they cost?

does this mean i am out of the club?!?!?!?!?

he did say any ONE boat. if I could have more, there would be several starcrafts involved. but if i can only pick one, I want to be be jumping 4' waves at 100mph 2 miles off shore while pissing myself.

this will do the trick
