None, other than my kayak.
I worked in a boatyard one summer during college and never want to see another fucking barnacle for as long as I live. |

You did say dream.
Right size to go any place. But not need 10 crew. She’s my powerball yacht. http://pro.yatco.com/BrochureTemplate.aspx?PDFID=aa3a50a0-2afb-4c6a-9496-90bc8062247d |

Iowa Class Battleship with enough engine power to throw up a roostertail. I'd call it the USS Hatefuck and me and all my friends would take it on the road just to go pirate hunting.

Yep. My 31' cabin cruiser is considered a yacht. Hate to break it to them, it ain't no yacht. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Its not a boat, Its a yacht. It's a 'yacht' - at least as far as insurance goes. |

If you want an open fisherman the correct answer is Yellowfin. Nothing better though a SeaVee is a fair argument.
Super yacht. Lurssen hands down. Feadship is second. Anything Italian run like Forest Gump. Go fast? No idea. Me? I am either in a surf ski or K1 sprint kayak. I am a yacht captain. I do not want to own anything I can’t hose off and hang in my garage. |

I've got a couple very nice boats but what I'd really like would be a 60 fish foot catamaran with twin diesel motors but have sailing capability. It would have a genset and solar/wind for electricity production and would have a desalinization and ice maker on board as well as a deep freeze. Boat would be used to fish super remote waters. It should have livability for 4-6 people. Pretty much a Freeman 60 with all the goodies of a Nordhaven in it with the sailing capabilities of a Leopard.

I want to re-build an older aft-cabin 40ft sailboat with a stepable fractional sail rig and do the great loop in it.
It will be at least 6 years before I can fo though. |

Now that gives new definition to a boat within a boat

Been collecting dream boats the last couple years. 16' wide Jon, 25' Panga, then got back into paddlesports. Kevlar Voyager (fast tripper), Advantage (slightly smaller day canoe that is technically a C1), then the boat I have been out the last 2 days in Kevlar/Carbon Stellar 18 (very close to a racing k1, but a lot more stable. Did test out an unlimited class race boat. Could keep it upright, but no chance of enjoying doing it for long
Lost some flexibility over winter. Getting back on the water was a pain in the ass yesterday (pinched syodic nerve-dead feet). Changed seat padding today but that only resulted in one of least comfortable paddeling positions my hips have ever been subjected to. Will work on stretches... |

Family currently owns a 1970 38' Pacemaker Sportfish with twin diesels. I love it, but growing up on it has taught me a ton of things. First off the bigger the boat the bigger (and more expensive) the headaches. Second, size is and isn't everything. There's a limit to what's useable where you are, but it's also nice to have a larger boat for the added room.
That said, I LOVE the Bayliss boats. Absolutely in love with the 77' Clean Sweep and 77' Wave Paver. If I get the money to do nothing but travel on them and fish, then a hull similar to those will be my dream boat. If I'm stuck with the lifestyle I currently have, I'd want a boat with similar performance and style to those hulls but in the 55-65' range (even that's pushing it here, they're just too wide and draw too much water, I'd probably have to dredge the canal). Just seeing an almost 80' boat cruise at 35 knots and push over 40 wide open is just amazing. Then when you look inside and it's like the boat isn't even made to fish, it's essentially a house. Alright I'll go back to being poor and dreaming now... |
