Excellent advice from Bruno. A bit like real estate and location, location,
location. You can make a 29 or 30 footer really great with upgrades and
spending money. But, you can never turn it into a 36 footer no matter how much
you spend. And, you can't move a house to a better location eithe
Shawn,I get the feeling that you are using this list of owners to support your rationalization that you already made to buy this boatRemember, if anything goes wrong, you can't use us to spread the blame...My position has always been that you should spend your time looking for something else..
Our boat is the same, there was a bit of creaking over the starboard
bulkhead when I walked over it. So I sprayed it with McLube. Fixed.

Good point, Jeff. I've always contended that a major design flaw in some boats
is that the bow was designed too close to the stern.
That being said, I do remember my dad's 27 feeling huge; and it was a truly
great boat!

May be that you’ve just not seen enough boats… or it might be the region you’re
in.
In Maine (lobster pots) and the Chesapeake (crab pots and trot lines), and even
here in the Carolina sounds you’ll see a similar arrangement on a lot of boats
with exposed rudders where the top leading edge o

I quit keeping track off Touche's rewiring at $2500. :)
I had a database to track all refurbishment spending. I was around $22K
when I lost it to a hard drive failure. I never recovered it or tried to
reconstruct it. Been much happier since then.

On second thought I should have said the Bali 4.5’s mast is too far aft. Maybe
that’s the price for that nice forward seating area.

Hi Rick,
You're method makes sense.
I dropped the rudder for other reasons; to check the shaft for crevice
corrosion and seal the joint where the shaft exits the fiberglass shell w

I know exactly what you’re saying, Dennis.
I paid $36K for my 38 back in 2004.
Over the years, I’ve put probably $40k - $45k into maintenance and upgrades.
Lost the file in a hard drive crash in 2017, and don’t even want to rebuild it.
But I do know I’ve spent over $20K since the fall o

I made myself a promise when I bought my first and subsequent sailboats,
all boat purchases and expenditures would be cash. A boat is a very
discretionary expense.
I've never broken that promise. :)
Later, after several years of boat ownership and hard lessons, I made
myself a second promise.
I have a strict budget for maintaining my boats; I just spend every penny I
have. It's simple.

You got the right Chuck. Challenging and fun when you see it that way
keeping things ship-shape ain’t a bad plan for a happy and rewarding life

Andy, I have the same philosophy. I too spend all my money on Rebecca Leah.
Sometimes I'll sneak a few dollars to spend on my hot rod truck or motorcycle.
BUT I don't let her know. Last summer she got new rigging, and she just got
new electronics. I think I might need some intervention. LOL.
I am about 90% sure I read it is a fluid dynamics thing. I was hoping Rob Ball
would make a comment so we can all quit guessing. Fair winds, Len
