Looking for brand recommendations for long range cruising motor yachts

I know about kady krogen, and Nordhavn. Both of these are wildly out of reach for me financially.

Re: Anchor locker has no drains? Collects standing water. What to do?

I was thinking about that. I have a spare 24"x24" piece of coosa ocean 26 that I could use for the purpose. But, it's going to be a major project because my anchor locker doesn't even have a hole...

Talking Re: What brands build efficient long range (ocean crossing) motor cruisers

That would be an incredible eye-popping 10 nautical miles per gallon of fuel carried. I would be extremely surprised if it was capable of this. Not saying it doesn't do it, but I haven't seen a spec...

What brands build efficient long range (ocean crossing) motor cruisers

I know about Kady Krogen and Nordhavn, what other manufacturers are making yachts which get close to 3k miles on 800-1200 gallons of fuel? (Preferably in the 40-55 foot length)

Re: Where to meet single ladies also interested in the cruising lifestyle?

Hi CLady,

Well, I have found someone! That said, I think we'd both be amenable to meeting you, and maybe doing some sailing together if you would like to.
We could always use some new friends!
