Re: A "Simple" Boat

Re: A "Simple" Boat

When it comes right down to it, if a couple wants different things on their boat they probably aren't a good match to start with.

When I went to get our first boat and asked my wife she wanted on...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Not looking to argue. But I am still waiting for the description of the "simple" boat that certain members seem to always recommend for new cruisers.

And the members who I've read the "advise"...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

So in the end we have established that from now on when a newbie asks about getting and boat to go sailing off into the the sunset the answers should never use the phase "get a simple boat"! :thumb:...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Re: A "Simple" Boat

On the flip side, those with simple boats who still have a land home probably have:

- running water
- a flushing toilet

Re: A "Simple" Boat

Use the camper for getting to the park and take the rucksack on the day trip to the lake.

Re: A "Simple" Boat

I don't know what boat size has to do with this list (except bow thruster). A autopliot is an autopilot, a frig compressor a frig compressor, a water pump a water pump. Yes going without the listed...

Re: A "Simple" Boat

This "it is simple as long as you can fix it" position is interesting. Seems if this was the case there would be a lot less boats in the water.
