Boat Rentals

[crankcall]

the guy scrapping the 36 is an Air Canada pilot , not on the triple7 , just an Airbus so he's only a 285K a year guy.

The Limestone series built by Madieros was a very well made boat , couple friends owned them . For a cuddy cabin boat they really held value , if fact still do . DOF ( the fish cops) and MNR are moving heavily to Kanter and Stanely aluminum boats . Easier to maintain , cost about t
he same upfront as glass , better in some cases and 100% recycleable at end of life. I'd love an older limestone but i am leaning towards a Ranger Tug, older one in Montreal for 60K , Yanmar deisel which is less desirable to new owners than a yamaha 250 , but I got offred a C&C 32 today , which is not my favorite , but it would be on wifes radar .

Rangers have a cult following, personally I don’t see the value unless your playing in sheltered waters of the Pacific NW.

They are tough, compact, and can handle big water…. But they are tiny inside, only 180 mile flat water cruising range, and you have to run from an enclosed pilot house which is like piloting in a sweat lodge in our climate.

In our area, I’d look boat that isn’t scary on the Great Lakes, loopable, open bridge, 400 mile range, and for 2 people I’d need 32’ min and a 12’ beam.

Like bikes, boats are To each his own.
