We once owned a 27 foot Searay Sundancer (with aft cabin) which we
spent a lot of time on, including weekends and week long trips on the
Lake. Our kids were fairly young when we owned the boat and things
became a bit tight even though the kids were small. After a few years
of owning it we up sized to a 32 footer. Even with that larger boat
we were glad to head back home after a week on it with the 4 of us.
