Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | When I get older and invariably fatter, I hope to have some extra cash for another multi.
Would love something in between the big cruisers (lepoard, Prout) and beachcats.
25-35 foot range. Able to sleep 2-3, but not all the crazy stuff on those big boats (maybe a watermaker & radar) and still reasonably fast around the cans.
Only stuff I see that's close to that seems to be three hulled.
Any thoughts?

Unregistered | I am thinking you only want 2 hulls... but them, there corsairs are bootiful (beautiful), fast, have all the comforts from home you need and have a strong class.
I would want one of them over a Stiletto anyday | | | Re: Next step

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | So what's wrong with 3 hulls? The trailerablility of the Corsair line is a great benefit especially when you don't have to pay for slip, yard fees, etc. The origianl F27's will do what you want. Not sure mamma would want to spend a weekend with the kiddies, sleeping inside a Stiletto hull. But a F27 has lots of room, a galley, sink, porta-pottie, etc. and you can drag it to the keys or where ever else you want to sail. http://www.corsairmarine.com/index....iations_detail&idinfo=18&supid=2 http://www.fboats.com/ Check out the prices on used F27's. Lots of bang for the buck there. Oh, there is a F boat forum on down the list over there on the left if you want to ask them any questions.

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | You're spot on.... family isn't keen on piling in the center hull of an F boat. I kind of like the practicality of the Maine Cat 30 with the hardtop. Ranger 30 looks much faster, but more spartan (less likely to be able to enjoy a weekend with the family - which usually means I won't be able to go... ) Okay, another question. If raking the mast works so well with beachcats, why don't they rake them back on bigger cats? I know Playstation was one with a nice mast rake, but all the 20-50 footers have a vertical mast with big roach main. Surely there may be a better setup?

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | Any other suggestions? I'm hoping the power ball hits this weekend so I can get a Gunboat, but maybe there's something a bit more attainable?

And I don't think you can trailer that bad boy...
