Joe,
We are keeping an open mind, and much will depend one how soon and how much the
Enterprise-B sells for.
Big winds and big seas aren’t usually an issue here in Southwest Florida and
we’d like to get to places like Tampa, Captiva Island, Sanibel, Naples, the
Keys and even the east coast or Bahamas without spending days to get there. As
Warp 7 (7 knots), Captiva is about 7 hours away. And, it would be great to hop
down to Boca Grande or Port Charlotte for lunch without leaving before sunrise
:-)
I think we are leaning towards a sedan bridge boat with an open cockpit. Ones
that we have liked so far are the Meridian 341, the Carver 36 Mariner, the Sea
Ray 400 SB, the Regal 4080 Commodore, Carver 41 CMY, and so on.
I’m well aware of the fuel and maintenance costs along with the issues of
docking (I plan to add thrusters, if the boat doesn’t have them), especially
since my slip is pretty tight and requires some maneuvering to pull in — I
couldn’t single-hand dock with this boat now anyway.
All the best,
Edd

I get the time issue. I am curious what you are looking at. What I found with
the small fast powerboats I had was I could get a long way very quickly and
then be utterly miserable getting home when the wind came up. You might make
100 miles between breakfast and lunch and then take 3 days to get home.
I had to deliver a Krogen 40 once and that was kind of cool, it would chug
along at 7-8 knots in pretty much any weather you would want to be out in. We
got kinda interested in having a Dyer 29 as a high speed touring boat, they’ll
run 15-20 knots economically in some pretty nasty weather and have enough room
to sleep 2 and have a useable head that isn’t under a bunk, but the recent
price run-up has put that idea out of reach for now.

Adam,
I’m still working full time and we want to explore more of Florida and beyond
without having to take weeks off to do it. That, along with a few health
issues, means it’s time for, if you pardon the term, The Next Generation of the
Enterprise.
There will be an Enterprise-C for certain, but it’s looking more and more
doubtful she’ll be a sailboat. I know it’s the wrong franchise, but we may be
going over to The Dark Side.
All the best,
Edd

You are selling the Enterprise? What do you have your eye on now?

Joe,
Perhaps you should think about a newer model C&C 40-footer with a 2015 engine
(490 hours)?

Would buying a C&C 40 with an original engine be a good idea in 2021?
We are running some numbers here and it is basically a choice between upgrading
and replacing. Coquina is 48 years old now and it is time to do some $$$
upgrades or buy another boat with much of the work done. We found a used C&C 40
that looks gorgeous below, the interior beats most used boats of that era. She
seems in good shape, but the engine is original with 3,000+ hours. An Atomic 4
per the manual should be rebuilt at 3,000 hours if FWC, a raw water cooled
version would be very lucky to get that far in salt water. The Yanmar is FWC. I
frequently hear that diesels can last 10,000 hours, but then again a
significant number of boats from that era are for sale with new engines.
Also re the rod rigging – the mast is out for the winter. With the rigging
easily accessed, what would the cost be of a rigging inspection to assure that
the rod is still good.
Thanks!
