Possible future owner?!
- Posted by: trail_rider » February 21st, 2017, 5:44 pm
- Forum: Introduce Yourself!
Hi everyone,
New to the forums doing some overly prolonged research for a future home away from home!
Right now our 16ft StarCraft is doing a decent job for our family of 4. However, there is obviously no way for us to spend the night anywhere on it, strictly a day use vessel. Which I realize isn't a bad thing, since we can trailer anywhere and go pretty shallow.
That being said, we live close to a great water system, and our family may be growing again in the near future, which means we will need a bigger vessel!
Throughout this research, I've already gotten 2-foot-itis, several times. Started with a 25' Cobalt, moved through different brands, and then I discovered the Carvers. For some reason, the fly bridge really draws me in. Read many, many reviews (including Mr. Pascoe's statements). Right now, I think I've settled on the 3007, however the 28 Voyager/Mariner still intrigues me due to its low rear deck height. The 3007 just has that extra cabin that would be perfect for the kids (current and future), and those awesome wrap around windows in the salon.
I have read in some places that the 3207 is the same as the 3007 set up wise, just a bit longer, which may improve ride and fuel burn? I think 30 is as big as I'm looking for right now, however if someone could make a good argument for the extra 2 feet, I'm all ears, or eyes.
Right now I'm aiming for an approximate purchase date of 2020 (yep, long ways away). Gives me enough time to finish research, save up the cash, and obtain the boss's permission.
Apologies for the long winded intro, looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions.
Cheers
Adam
