  Oh My. :) My dream boat is a 55' Chris Craft Constellation.  Still
small enough [barely] to be piloted by one person, and *gorgeous*.
The closest I've gotten so far was a 30' 1961 Owens all-mahogany cabin
cruiser, which was wonderful but was damaged badly in El Nino a few
years ago and had to be scrapped.  It was a 1/4-done restoration
project anyway so it wasn't a huge loss, but it had lots of
personality.  I currently have a 24' Marathon cabin cruiser and two
screaming fast 14' jet boats...the former and one of the latter I will
be putting up for sale as soon as I can pay for some fixups.
