Getting my new boat.

I have put up the Nantucket for sale. Excellent boat, but don't want 2 right now.

NO NEED TO REPLY Here.

He is "jumping ship" to a Cape Horn.

Yes, its true. The cape horn 24' will be mine.
Someday, when the kiddies come, I may downsize back to a Nantucket, but I am heading offshore.

No complaints or sour grapes about Whalers. The experience has been positive, and I will likely own another one in the future. If I don't get what I am looking for in price, I may keep her.

Love that Nantucket though. Not pressured to sell it, but don't want to neglect it either. Worst thing for a boat is to sit without somebody to love it...tear, tear, sniff,sniff...and she does deserve a good home.

TG_190,

Best of luck with the Cape Horn. I know your decision was not a hasty one. You've done your homework, you've test driven many boats, and you've chosen a proven blue water boat. Your Nantucket is a great boat but a smart captain knows that she is not the best match for your future fishing intentions. Call me when your ready to head out to the Canyon.

Ron,

Thanks for the cudos. I ain't running right out to the continental shelf just yet...but soon. Plenty of stuff on the inshore (<60mi) humps, lumps, holes and wrecks to work with till the YFTs are in heavy in the Hudson.

Regards,
