Fantasy Time: You have 100K for your next boat

[Hooper]

I don't know about you guys, but I spend a lot of time looking at boats. I love to cruise the marinas and boatyards to see what's tied up and what being worked on. And Boats.Com is at the top of my favorites list...

So, if you had an extra 100K laying around and you didn't have to fund the kids college, build an addition to your home, or sock it away for retirement, what would you have tied up to the dock? Would it be a nice new 29' SeaVee with a pair of Yammies, or maybe a 26' Regulator? How about a slightly used Carolina Classic, or a Silverhawk, maybe a new SeaCraft?

I think I would stay with the tried and true, a downeast hull, probably a H&H, or a Duffy with a single diesel. I know it wouldn't be very fancy for the budget of 100K, but it would be dry, and have a heater and a place or two to sit down. Above all, it would be economical to run. It's what I have fished on most of my life and dollar for dollar I think I would get the most boat for the money...

How 'bout it?
