I'm not familiar with Fortier, and not sure I'd consider Mainship as a Downeaster, but all good names.
This'll do that.
Motorcycle vs, saltwater. hmmmmmm. Still pretty cool. Ah to be young and immortal. Every time I see the kids today with their extreme sports I...
Nice boat, but not nearly as seworthy. She's fine for going to B.I., the Vinyard or down L.I. Sound, but I wouldn't run it down to Atlantic...
Because there will of course be cries of 'just try a little longer'. That's the 'little longer'. Besides, with the assets already out there,...

They all look good in pictures, and they all sound good. It's called "puffing". Look the boat over with a knowldgable boater by your side who...
Definitely not meaning to mock the OP's idea. Simply pointing out that there are big reasons why nobody finds it a commercially viable idea in...
Sounds like something's just not connected. Time to trace.
Why? Especially why would you build in steel? Either would be a custom build, and as such much harder to resell when the time comes. Now when...
Congratulations, and great idea. You'll learn tons and have the adventure of a lifetime. For insurance I'd suggest a call to BoatUS and/or...
