Screw politics, lets talk boats...

Used 2005 Tiara 3200 Open, Southold, Ny - 11971 - BoatTrader.com

So close, just out of reach...lets see how next year goes.

IMHO that is the perfect boat, right size and right motors. Screw gas 454's.

No one can afford to run gas boats so they are just dock queens. I'd run 125-200 hours a year on those Cummins and they would be happy with it until at least 8k hours. Cummins and Yanmar are the best marine diesels you can get, they don't break like CAT's.

I put about 150 hours this year on my boat, I want to go bigger so I can overnight and use it more. I did 1 block Island trip, 6 Northport, 8-10 Port Jeff, and up the CT river twice this year. Next year we're planning on doing that plus a NY City trip and at least 3 Block Island trips, I'm also planning on doing Northport at least every other Friday from May-August. I want something that is fast and efficient with a cabin so I can do more Block Island trips and maybe a Hudson or run up the coast for a few weeks to Maine.
