Re: Baba 30 / 35 vs. Island Packet 31 / 32

We looked at a Baba 30 in Daytona Beach. We love the salty little buggers, but I just didn't fit in it. The nav station was small even for Brenda and the head was tiny. Wish we could afford the...

Re: Baba 30 / 35 vs. Island Packet 31 / 32

Well I hope we enjoy looking at the IP31. We just wired the money to close the sale on one. We'll be cruising about August 1st of this year. We start in the Charlotte Harbor area and see where the...

LakeSuperior - my comment or reply was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. My humor can be a little off sometimes.

I guess you don't like my taste in women.

Re: Baba 30 / 35 vs. Island Packet 31 / 32

Well one year later after our house finally sold we went on a serious boat search. There was a very nice Baba 30 and two Island Packet 31’s available in our price range scattered around Florida. We...

Large Luke,

Congratulations on the Shannon. They are beautiful boats, so we hope the survey goes well for you. We are just waiting for our house to sell so we can get serious about purchasing...

Re: Baba 30 / 35 vs. Island Packet 31 / 32

Thanks. The cleats just don't look all that substantial for 6-7 tons of boat. I agree that a nylon line for shock absorption is the way to go.

Baba 30 / 35 vs. Island Packet 31 / 32

Can someone who sails an IP 31 tell me what they are securing their all chain rode to? In looking at the pictures I don't see anything substantial to secure the chain. Most of the 31’s for sale...

We love the HC 33. Our concern is the main berth looks a bit short for Mike. At 6'3" he likes a traditional v-berth so he can hang over the end if necessary. The HC's main berth is enclosed and...

We are currently located in southern Wisconsin. As soon as our house sells we will be relocating to our condo in Orange Beach, Alabama. We are considering Bear

So the IP felt roomier than the Baba 30? We are anxious to get aboard each model and see what feels right to us. I'd love a Baba 35, but they always seem to be a bit over our wimpy budget. There...

I love the Pacific Seacraft 34, but we rarely see one listed in our price range. Those PS boats sure hold their value. The Catalina line does offer a lot of bang for your buck, but they just don't...

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I'll certainly be checking the age of the chain plates if we are inspecting an IP. Thanks.

The Bayfield 32 is a nice old classic, but the v-berth size...

The Baba 30 has a draft of just 4' 9". There are some available from the mid 1980's, so not really that old considering our budget. We love the look and feel of a boat

Baba 30 / 35 vs. Island Packet 31 / 32

Our house is finally up for sale and we are closing in on starting our two year(?) cruise. It has taken us three years to get things in order, but now all that is left is to actually sell the house,...
