Hi we are are a husband and wife team (Jonah and Jo) who currently reside in Bermuda. It is our intention to have a sometime liveaboard to undertake the great Loop and Bahamas. To that end we have been to the Annapolis boat show, done a trawler training course, and taken several sea trials. An endeavour 44 is the most likely candidate. We spent some time with Bob and Rob of endeavour at their factory earlier this year, and found them to be most helpful. I am an artist and intend to paint on our journey. For this we require a stable painting platform, adequate storage space and office facilities to update my website etc . The plan would be to convert the master into an office/painting storage. Endeavour are happy to do this, hence our choice. Craig, I strongly recommend that you get yourself a flight down to StPetersburg and check out Endeavour. we would be open to the idea of having a custom cat built too, but I don't see this option being in the same price bracket or have the same level of back up offered by endeavour cats. we will be following this site with interest, thanks George. regards Jonah and Jo. http://www.jonah-art.com

Jonah Thank you for your input and suggestions. I am planning a trip to Florida - unfortunately will not be until October; but it will coincide with my PDQ factory tour in Ontario. As we speak I am liking the 44 Endeavour more and more for a full time live aboard and the price is very appealing in comparison to a lot of the other dealers we have been making inquiries with. I like the versatility of the layout design flexibility, the space and options available. I am very grateful to a number of Endeavour owners who have been kind enough to answer my questions and to share their experiences. Without exception all owners (past and present) have been very complimentary of the Endeavour product line, the staff and of Bob Vincent. The owners very much enjoy their boats; those with 44's have been very impressed with the livable space, storage, ease of handling and the lack of problems they have experienced. thank you for your input.
