47 McKenna Sedan in Folly Beach, SC
It’s a BIG step from a 26 foot boat to a 47 foot cruiser. Not only the difference from gas to diesel but also air conditioners, black and grey water systems, inverters, generators, fly bridge and the new importance of staying in deepwater. Whew! If you ran aground in the 27 footer it was easy to get out and push her of the mud flat. Not so with 30,000 pounds of fiberglass and diesel engines.

Beneteau Swift Trawler 34 Sea Trial
Early Sunday morning after the Trawler Fest Fort Lauderdale is over we are asked to do a Sea Trial on the Beneteau Swift Trawler 34. A sunny January Sunday brings out every type of boater so we must navigate carefully between the cruise liners in port and the charter boats which are all headed out to sea. This sweet new swift trawler can easily handle the task.
