BADG is on a distinguished road
The decision to be made is A) travel further to marina (45-60 minutes) but not be overly concerned with skinny water or B) have real close boat storage that is affected by skinny water and may require shoal draft.

I am looking for a 28-34 footer to daysail, w/ overnites and week long cruises a handful of times during a season. I don't want spartan accomodations but I don't need a condo at the sacrifice of performance either. I'm considering Sabre, S2, CS, Tartan, C&C and Pearson simply because I have limited experience on each. Sabre and Tartan are in the forefront due to companies still in business and rabid owner support. Would love a Sabre 34 w/ CB but may be too pricey.

I have an eye on a Tartan 33 but as I mentioned previously cored hulls and a scheel keel (no experience with one) concern me. Anybody with experience with this boat care to weigh in?
