New guy. Not sure where to ask this, but its kinda about cruising so I'll try here.
We are currently looking for the retirement boat and have run across an Ericson Independence not too far away. Love the lines of the boat, the photos look really good and the price is in our budget. We are going to try to look at it next week, but would like to ask any current owners about their cruising experience with one.
We are reasonably experienced lake sailors (have owned a Capri 22, Hunter 285, Beneteau 235) and would continue lake sailing, but our retirement dreams include heading down the Tennessee-Tombigbee to the Gulf and do some coastal cruising along the Florida coast then maybe head north along the east coast and just explore. It would be just the two of us, with an occasional overnight by a visiting niece or nephew.
So my question to owners or former owners, how do you find the Independence in terms of space and storage for two, for say a week to 10 days between resupplying at a marina?
