I've been messing about in boats all my life. Retired eight years ago and took up fulltime RVing. Started big, 35 foot, but now happier in a 19 foot Roadtrek. Very similar to living on a boat. Finally this spring couldn't stand not owning a boat any longer, my last boat being a Tartan 27, so I bought a 1993 Nimble Kodiak, a motor sailor. Haven't put it the water yet, a lot of neglected maintenance to catch up on. Don't know if I'll be happy with her sailing abilities, or lack thereof. Really wanted a Montgomery 23 but rare as hen's teeth. Wanted a boat I could tow behind a 3/4 truck and use as an RV when on land. Also saving on the yard fees for launch and haul out. This is a great forum, especially for someone such as me,engaged as I am on a massive refit of an older boat.
