JIMMYVOS 0 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JIMMYVOS 0 Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 157 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I've had a Carpenter 29 for several years, it is a good Middle of The Road racer cruiser, the Young 88 and Ross 930 are faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 626 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Where are you parking it, 10m vs 12m is a jump. For your money a good 930 might be the way to go Scarlett Fever sold for 20 something and it was a good boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JIMMYVOS 0 Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 365 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 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 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big interior volume and large cockpit but you would have to add cruising comforts I would imagine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
