[quote=chump23]I fully intend to sail the crap out of this P18 for at least another year! I just started this thread for some conversation and input for the future.
I am asking out the P19, and perhaps 18-2 because they have centerboards. Dagger boards are not something I am interested in dealing with in my very shallow, but large bay. With more time on the boat, ocean sailing will be happening. Sportiness would be nice, but room for family and fun is more important. I'm toying with the idea of adding some Getaway wings on my P18 with the idea of moving them (with modifications) over to whatever the future boat is.
Hobie 21 was an original ideal, but after sailing in my area a bit I don't think I have a great setup to deal with a boat of that size and weight. Mystere 6.0 and 5.5 sounds great and have wing options, but they don't seem to exist anywhere outside of Florida and the Great Lakes area. That pretty much leaves P19's and potentially 18-2's as future options. I suppose a Getaway checks the family boat option, but for the money I could buy a cherry 20' boat. There, you have my entire though process. :-D
Oh, and P16-18's have that odd turn down on the decks and giant slabs on the side of the hulls. Functional sure. Just not what I call pretty.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by chump23 on Oct 27, 2016 - 04:25 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
