Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds
Westsail 32, Hawaii (auction says "40", but that's with the bowsprit, I figure).
Current high bid is $560 (+$300 doc fee, +$100 "escort to mooring"), 6 days to end, but pretty sure it'll go for...

Re: How did you get from house to boat?
Very interesting thread, as my family and I are in a similar situation to you guys (wife and I and our 7 year old boy), but we're a few years older (39 & 37). I just spent an hour and a half reading...

A few ideas come to mind:
1) AirBnb
Find owners that are renting their boat already. They're already accustomed to loaning out their vessel (however, for sleeping only). You'd need to talk them...

Re: Looking for a family who has been there.. and come back.
John, I'm bookmarking this thread. We've contemplated a similar plan, with our 6-year-old son, and we're just north of you in Woodstock. I might be bugging YOU in the future for advice!

Re: Help us cast off! Need advice and inspiration: Family of 3, Great Loop? Boat size
I think that's an excellent idea; I've found a charter in the Bahamas that emphasizes instruction while aboard, which would be great experience.

Re: Help us cast off! Need advice and inspiration: Family of 3, Great Loop? Boat size
That's what I was hoping to hear (kid stuff).
We definitely have a back up plan. Once we downsize, we can move easily anywhere in the country if the boat thing doesn't work out. I feel like I'm...

I think I came across them a few months ago, but they got lost in the pile of bookmarks I've been saving. I'll check them out again. Thanks.

Re: Help us cast off! Need advice and inspiration: Family of 3, Great Loop? Boat size
That's excellent advice. The thought's crossed my mind before, as we've found a few boats worth looking at on the northern eastern seaboard (NY, Maine). We'd just onboard up there, spend some time...

Re: Help us cast off! Need advice and inspiration: Family of 3, Great Loop? Boat size
Thank you.
The layout of the Morgan 382 looks to fit the bill. I've looked at hundreds, maybe thousands of boat ads in the last few months, but haven't paid much attention to the 382. I like Ted...
