While looking around at what the market has to offer, with half an idea to move ahead from the old tub, I had the bad idea of doing a bit of reverse engineering, sort of.
So, while I normally searched based on a number of parameters (flybridge, 16 to 18 meters, last decade construction, with a selection of my preferred builders, and of course budget), I thought to leave everything open but the budget, and see what sort of boats could be bought.
And among other exotic stuff (like Magnums for instance!), I came across a mind blowing Canados.
26m, no less.
With internal and external spaces that are not just in a different league compared to what I'm used to - more likely two leagues above (see pics below, just to give an idea).
And the build quality is way above what any newly built boat can offer - leaving aside the stratosphere of custom superyachts.
Last but not least, her 16V Detroit engines has been rebuilt to zero hours, together with a total refitting of the electrical plant and instrumentation.
Otoh, yeah, of course there's a catch: she's one of the latest completely wooden built Canados.
Bottom line, please remind me why I should forget that thing PDQ.
Not that I don't know all the good reasons, but it's always nice to be told by everybody else...
