HI I own and liveaboard a 76 morgan 33 OI. Ive found the boat to be very stable and trustworthy offshore. The boat is very well balanced and the helm is a breeze ot tend to even without autopilot. The hydraulic steering with zero feedback has been a joy. The problematic hull to deck joint is compounded by a scarcity of limber holes so water will puddle excessivley in some of the lockers. The standing water also caused some rot on the sole. The sole is bonded directly to the hull on the outboard side , dont particularly like that part of the design as there isnt any place for water to go. The perkins 4.108 is reliable and easy to get parts for. I do canvas work aboard and the large dimensions in the setee area suit my needs perfectly. I have my machine set up on the aft end of the port setee and have ample room to handle most enclosure projects. Im thoroughly happy with this boat and plan on keeping it for the long haul. We are planning on the South pacific in 2 yrs.
