2007 Cruisers Guide

January 9, 2007

A well-equipped cruiser should be a self-sufficient home on the water with enough fuel and water capacity to allow a family to explore without having to be tethered to civilization. When comparing prices of cruisers, make sure each is equipped the way you want it, because some companies favor a la carte pricing, while others give you a turnkey setup. Although size matters, don't give up must-have amenities or under-power a boat to gain a few more feet of length.
