THE GOOD LIFE has been lovingly maintained by her original owners since Day 1 who have lived aboard for the last 15 years. Her John Deere and Northern Lights genset have enjoyed careful maintenance supported by regular oil analysis such that a rigid mechanical survey will show many years of reliable service ahead. She has cruised between the Canadian Maritimes and Bahamas seasonally, providing her owners, friends, and family with priceless memories. She is equipped for all forms of cruising styles, from inland waterways to open ocean, all with comfort and safety first and foremost. A sistership has crossed the Atlantic twice so she is truly a Great Looper that can do bluewater too. Her displacement / length ratio of 283 allows her to carry generous loads of fuel & cruising stores for extended cruising without unduly affected her fuel efficiency. Though stabilized, her slack bilges and her wineglass transom provide for a more comfortable motion due to a slower roll period than other trawlers while her 2,500 # of encapsulated lead ballast improve her righting moment for increased safety at sea.
Whether your itinerary takes you across the bay or across the ocean, THE GOOD LIFE is equal to the task. She is easily managed by a cruising couple, but with accommodations for guests desiring to enjoy your cruising adventure. If you are looking for an absolutely turn-key cruising platform you need to have THE GOOD LIFE on your short list. You will not be disappointed.
