Getting closer Still looking for newer and prefer gas over diesel. Also, think bigger!

We have been looking at both... main reasons we chose gas are:
Ability to do work myself or easily find mechanic
Convenience of gas stations
Cost for potential repairs
Theresa gets seasick at the slightest smell of fumes
Reasons we considered diesels:
Better gas mileage
Better reliability
Faster speed -
Just an FYI- I'm not sure about the downstate part of the canal but on the upper part of the canal from Rochester west there is a speed limit and it is nowhere close to 25 mph> basically your boats registration number and description is logged in at any lock or lift bridge on the canal that you pass through by the operator and each operator is telephoned ahead of your arrival to the next lift bridge or lock with your information. If you arrive in real short fashion they can tell basically your estimated speed from the time it took to get there from the other bridge or lock and the troopers will be there to ticket you if excessive speed is recorded. This is mainly to protect the canal from erosion due to excessive wakes.
Thanks, I have no problem following speed limits... bettet watch Theresa though -
Looking 1995 or newer. Doing some research and I think the canal would take 3 days to Oswego and then a day to Sodus.
-
I wonder how long the trip up the canal system would take?

Not looking for a project boat... with our limited time up here and a 6hr drive, we need something reliable that doesn't take up all of our time.

So Nick :
How big is "BIGGER" and are you thinking Trailable ? or not?
Love looking at boats and I have seen some BIG TWIN ENGINE boats over 30 that
could sit on a trailer [ but over 120 inches wide] permit needed to trail them.
Troutman over in the Oak ran a 11 meter with twin 455's and loves it for charter
An express cruiser design that big is very nice and handles 5 and 6 foot waves

31-36ft. We were pretty set on a boat and then looked at the downstairs of a 01 cruisers... hard to find a luxurious downstairs with fishing room upstairs. -

So Nick :
Are you really thinking of trading boats? How big Are you looking to go?
Trailable or you going to keep it at the Marina?
I ask because I know of a 28 foot single screw full inboard down in Penn Yan
full cabin fly bridge on a trailer. You would have to rig it but it has potential.
I would even tow it to Ontario for you [once] I have a diesel truck .
I should have bought that one but it is just to big to trail every week
Dr W
Think bigger
