Two more videos of the cabin cruiser ride, fast and slow

Boat ride on San Diego Bay

We had a fun day tooling around San Diego in a 28' cabin cruiser we have for sale on the lot (sea trial to make sure everything works!). It's amazing the variety of sights on the bay - Navy vessels on one side, skyscrapers, yachts in the harbor and, this weekend, tall ships shooting cannons at each other! The Festival of Sail was going on, with tall ship rides, complete with mock battles. People used to cross the ocean in these things!

The "RV Boat"




That's what our kids call it. This 28' Maxum cabin cruiser is for sale on our lot. The owner let us take it out for a sea trial this weekend to make sure all systems are working well. If it doesn't sell, he might consider letting us rent it, like we do with our consignment RV rentals. It sleeps 6 or more (you could cram 3 or 4 kids in the mid cabin and the seats on the deck fold into beds). There is a "wet bath" (toilet and shower in one), stove, fridge, water heater, fresh water tank, etc. With a GPS system and marine radio, it would be a great boat to take to Catalina Island for a weekend. There are also several anchorages around San Diego where you can drop your anchor for the weekend and camp on your boat.
