To answer MrEzgoin, we are phasing out.. I'll send a PM.

To everyone else, thanks for all the input. I'll comment on some items as we've thought about some and some aren't feasible.

Genset - I'd love a genset and if we had all the money in the world, I'd install it immediately (actually, we'd buy a catamaran, but you get the point <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />)

Watermaker - isn't going to happen without a genset. And I'm not sure there's enough room on the boat even if we did. Space for a genset is tight too, but doable.

Stereo - After our final trip upgrading to a moorings 4000 cat, this is something I'd like to replace - bluetooth with controls by the helm are what I'd.

Electric heads - I've looked at them as I think both my wife and I would love to at least swap the head out in the forward cabin. Eventually we'd probably swap them all out, but I figure having at least one, whoever organizes the trip can make use of that luxury smile

In mast furling isn't something we're even remotely considering at this point. I'd probably go with in boom anyway so you can still reef, but its not in the budget at this point.

Updated electronics is something we're almost done with fortunately. All the original instruments failed at some point and were replaced with newer raymarine instruments. Only one unit wasn't replaced yet.

So again, thanks for all the input. Keep it coming if anyone has anything new. So far, seems like genset for a/c is really the big item that could be a deal breaker for some. As beerman knows, I really like having it - I can do without, but just sleep much more comfortable with it! Our stops will likely be at places where we can plug in anyway for the near term as Conner (our 17 month old) loves pools!
