Fast racer cruiser wanted


Recommended Posts

Hi there

I’m seeking a boat we can race the winter series in with the boys around the buoys and also head out for a coastal cruise in the summer.

Young 88, young 8.4? Carpenter 29?

Max budget 35k could possibly stretch to 40k

 

thanks in advance

Hello. 
 

Just turning some rocks to see if I can find any boats that are not on trade me. 
Something to race with the boys around the buoys and also that would handle a bit of coastal cruising in the summer. 

have obviously been looking at y88s and wondering about a y8.4. possibly a ross 9.3, And Open to suggestions 

Thanks in advance

Yeah don’t mind the open trannys on the carpenter. Wouldnt mind it being in the middle ground, Comfort is always nice. 

It will be parked in pilot bay ( Mount Maunganui) for a bit, We race against a 930 and not as fat as I would like but nice boats.

Only boat I can think of that would be faster than an 88 or a 930 in that price range would be an SR26 or maybe an Elliott 770 .  And there’s also what’s news Y 8.4  which is a bit more than 40k but it’s early days and the market isn’t exactly going gang busters .

 

sorry did you mean the 930 is not as FAT as you would like ? Or as fast ?

correct a 930 not as beamy as I would like. 

Big interior volume and large cockpit but you would have to add cruising comforts I would imagine
