DrB,
This is the standard version of the P26. I would actually want the "roomier" (lol) salon.
Thanks sooo much everyone. I really don't think we'll be spending the night that often. Certainly not with other families. I have found several P28s - and other 28' boats, but they're much farther away. Which will obviously increase the cost considerably. I still have to explore the lake where I'll have a slip to see if anything is listed locally, but nothing's coming up on the web. The P26 is right around the corner and appears to be in really good shape. That's really why I'd love for it to work.
Not closing off the options though. I have enough to spend on a 28' and bring it here, but I'd rather not spend the money on that if I don't have to. I could do some really nice up fits on the 26 like double life
lines and a new outboard if needed. Stuff like that. The guy would also help me do other projects on the boat like the step trick Dan Pfieffer did to put a cooler under the cockpit.
Really appreciate you folks taking time to post your thoughts and opinions!
Mike
