[PUP] Let's design the perfect passagemaker

[Al Rodriguez]

Just a thought from a prospective customer who "knows about boating, but not really".  Could you keep it at around $500,000.00 for the average Joe the Plummer who's retiring.   If we follow the real estate model, home prices become precipitously unaffordable for the moderately successful average Joe, at about that price.

Speed and powerful motors should be de-emphasized, in favor of economy.  At my age, I won't be in much of hurry, and want to smell the seaweed along the way.  Also, lets pay attention to minimizing draft to the extent this is possible, so we can visit small coves and out of the way marinas in the Caribbean and Inland Waterways.

Just adding to the matrix.
