Cheoy Lee trawler in the 40' range. Big enough to do the great loop, but not so big as to make doing the great loop a problem. Or a Cheoy Lee Motorsailer in the 50-60 foot range. Big enough to go around the world if I wanted.

On shear LOOKS

the V20s are just the tops of 20fters.
All three models... but the cuddy is just special.

The Seacraft 20 CC was very close 2nd place

Shamrock Pilot House had a look...


If I stuck to a new 20 footer it would be tough. Don't like the euro transoms and permanent moulded-in seating on anything. No room. Built for women.


I moved up in size to a Grady 265 Express. Motors on transom with a tailgate. Fishing machine. Of course, they don't make it anymore.

I don’t like the euro transoms either. Doesn’t look very nautical and, interested if anyone knows about this, looks like a following sea would be inclined to climb the transom and swamp the boat.

Completely agree on the Shamrock. Have always loved those boats.

never rode on one. I really liked the look but suspected they were a dog that couldn't steer or get outta their own way.

I really liked the look of a Parker too until I stepped down into a cabin.
