I'm planning to move to SE FL (West Palm Beach - Ft Lauderdale area) when I retire in a few years and hope to spend time cruising the Keys and/or the Bahamas. (Not live aboard - live aboard; just live aboard for 2-4 weeks at a time and then back home for a month and then repeat.) I'm 6'4 - 230# and am no longer limber enough to "skamper" about a pitching deck. (I sold my Precision 18 [which I liked] because the deck wasn't stable enough for me to safely sail her.) Between now and retirement, I'll sail up here in the MN-WI area. So I'm not in a hurry but I don't want to pass up the right boat if I see it.I am looking for the right boat: Keel-Centerboard, not a project boat, not a slow slug, and something that I can put on a trailer for the off season. Until very recently I was considering the Precision 23 as the best pick for my needs.But then I ran across a couple of Irwins; very interesting. Precision23 -phrf 228 - draft 1'11-5'4 - beam 8'6 -2500# - outboard -headrm 4'+Irwin 25CB - phrf 231 - draft 2'8-6'8 - beam 8'0 - 5400# - outboard -headrm 5'9Irwin 10/4 - phrf 228 - draft 2'9-6'8 - beam 10'4 -7000# - inboard - headrm 5'9So the question is: *How do these two Irwins compare in sailing characteristics. Can I assume that the 10/4 is more stable initially (won't heal as much in light/medium air) but the trade off is that its motion is not as easy in a chop? Has anyone had experience with sailing both of these models?*Is the engine on the 10/4 accessible or do you need to be a contortionist like on my old Allied Seawind (you could touch it with either hand not both or you could see it; you pick)*Are there any red flag issues that I need to look for [be aware of] when I look at one of these boats?I plan to look at one of each of these Irwins this weekend so I'd appreciate any input you can give me.I thank you in advance for any help/advice you can give me.TT
