Default Re: a mistake or what else

I went through the same exact dilemma earleir this year. I loved my 23' and had both time and money invested in it.

However, the offshore bug bit me. In NJ, offshore fishing means going up to 100 miles offshore.

I wanted to stay with a cc because I am well versed with twin engine setups (my last two seacrafts were twin engine run).

I wanted to spend no more than $50k to $55k.

Here were the boat manufacturers that I looked at:

Favorites:
Contender - both the 27 & 31
Regulator - 26 (shorest boat that I looked at but a real tank)

Other good boats (IMO)
Intrepid
Jupiter
White Water
SeaVee
Hydra-sports

I ended going with a 26 Regulator. I took several of them for test spins in real snotty conditions and was very impressed.

I went with the Regulator becuase I could buy one with a good power pack (twin 200 HPDI's) that was within my price range.

Also, a 31' Contender would have been a very tight fit in the slip behind my house.


What kind of boat are you looking for? Sinc I spent months looking at large CC's, I know of some very good deals out there (and will share the specifics with you if you so choose)

Do I miss my 23' SeaCraft? Yes! I hope to buy either an 18' or 20' SeaCraft one day in the next several years.
