If I got a boat I’d probably want something a bit bigger and that we could potentially sleep on. My wife and I have 2 boys (8 months and 3 years) so it would need to be big enough for us to all be comfy on. Plus it would be a great vessel to create lifelong memories on with my boys. Now we're talking!!! If you get serious about it let me know! I was in contract on 3 boats this past winter/spring and spent way too much time researching. It's so much fun, nothing quite like getting on your own boat and doing whatever the hell you want to do. And nothing quite like smoking cigars on your own sled! ? We ended up with a 32' World Cat Express Cabin. 19 minutes ago, Bijan said: Depends on the size or your humidor ? This is why I dont golf!
