I've always wanted a center cockpit, but until now, it just never worked out that way, The progression of the boats I've owned is:
Flying Jr (13')
MacGregor 25
Catalina 30
Tayana 37
Kelly-Peterson 44
Our current plans have us moving aboard next summer and heading south for an open ended cruise and I can't express how much we're looking forward to getting back to the cruising life. This working for a living sucks. It interferes with my fishing.
