Reelmagic we looked a 38 and my wife brought up that there was very little clothes storage in master berth has this been an issue on your long cruises? We are in southold and would be doing very similar type cruising. We also like to anchor or moor for a week at block island. Do you anchor a lot with this boat and would u be able to keep things powered without constantly using generator.bill

Clothing storage doesn't seem to be a problem for us.... Closet in the master holds more than needed for 3 weeks of travel. Mostly clothes for dinner to go out in when shorts/golf shirts aren't enough and jackets/rain gear....... I converted the other hanging cabinet, just outside the master stateroom, to hold my folding clothes by adding 3 shelves and removing the bar for hangers.... Works great for us. This way my wife has most if not all the space under the master bunk..... She generally does wash once, twice worst case, on a 3 week cruise.....  We don't anchor more than 1 or 2 nights at any one time. Batteries seems to support 1 night easily... Generally run the gen. during the day for several hours to make sure the batteries are fully charged..... Also replaced both TV's with flat panels, removed the turntable, and converted the panel above the stereo to allow access behind the TV's.... Lots of storage space for CD's/DVD's...

BTW we use to own a home in Southold (Bixedon Estates)... Where are you located and where do you keep the boat?

Fred we live in wading river and keep boat in brick cove marina. Been there for 20 years great area for boating and just far enough to feel like your getting away. Brick is just past bixedon estates.i noticed in 2004 they went to the flat panel tv.sounds like your boat is pretty much what I'm looking for.the only boat I looked at was a 2004 with the b plan.glad I saw it but I think I prefer the a plan setup.Bil

Know Brick Cove well.... We use to keep a boat there when it was known as "Youngs Marina" and now "Brick Cove".... Nice place and very convenient for traveling east or just in the Peconics.... We generally go to Greenport for a long weekend early in the season as a shake down cruise, Memorial Weekend last few years.
