Re: Cruise capable, smaller boats?

I would look for an Alberg 30. There are lots around at good prices & they meet all your requirements.

Re: Swapping Volvo Penta MD 11C for Yanmar 3YM30AE

Yanmar is a terrific engine, but you might want to look at the stiffness of the motor mounts.My mechanic recommended we install different mounts to cut down on the vibration. Have never had a problem.

Re: Where is the best place to cross from Maine to Nova Scotia?

The shortest route would be Bar Harbour to Shelburne. I think most cruisers use Shelburne to clear in. would be 30 some hours.

Smile Re: What do you do if all the dock space is used up?

Re: CAN I LIVE IN A BOAT THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO STAND UP IN

I would consider an Albin Vega or an Alberg 30 . Both have circumnavigated & have lots of head room.
