Augustin:
AH=>       Well I'm primarily looking at Hunters because there're lots of 
hem
AH=>at Granville Island, and because they make full use of their waterline
AH=>making them good boats for living aboard.  Still trying to find out what
AH=>they're like as offshore cruising boats, but no one really seems to know.
AH=>I have heard of a few making passages from Vancouver to Mexico without 
ny
AH=>problems, but will they take me to Hawai without breaking? :^)
Well, they certainly are "pretty" boats (if not traditional) and they DO
indeed make maximum use of the maximized interior space... but then, the
best use of space is a Winnebago and I certainly wouldn't want to go on
the water with one.
AH=>few other boats built by Cooper, but none of them seemed to shine in the
AH=>sunlight - especially in the engine compartment.
Do you mean they were dirty and dark or do you mean they were
under-powered or do you mean there was no space to work on the
engine?... you'll have to be more eloquent, I'm afraid - your
answer is simply too obtuse.
AH=>Someone in Toronto shipped a Nauticat 33 out here to sell-does that
AH=>mean prices on the west coast are higher than even Toronto?
Could be, I dunno
AH=>I'll have to check into this when I'm back in town... maybe I outta
AH=>take a trip to Florida!
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do....  At least you'd be a lot
close to Florida here than you are now!
AH=>  The Spencer Sunstar 31 got sold last week - really was in great shape,
AH=>but just a tad too small to live aboard.  I believe it went for about 
$34K.
Que sera que sera - it just wasn't meant to be...
AH=>There is definitely a year round market out here for used boats, but 
eals
AH=>are around for patient buyers.
It would be, given that it's year-round boating, & there are A L W A Y S
deals around for patient buyers; I've been lucky twice, now... it's your
turn!
AH=>Keep on rootin' for me... if ya want to sail when you're out
AH=>this way :^)
I will!... and so too, I'm sure, will everyone else out here!  We'll
likely be out that way next year - or so Sheila tells me... her
sister lives in Vancouver and another sister lives in Kelowna: we're
supposed to go visit these folk but I'm saying it's gotta be a winter
visit - I'm NOT leaving my boat!... the grin there is for all the
times "already" that we've got committments during the summer, so I
really have no idea what's yet to come!
