You guys deserve this, this is how I chose Hourston and long term plans for the 26'er
When I started looking at boats about 2 years ago the Steiger Craft was my number one pick, then Seabreeze, then Parker. But, unfortunately not too many Steiger Crafts on the West coast or Parkers in my price range, Seabreeze is built in Newfoundland, so its gots to be good
but too costly to get one transported. I then continued the search to include local BC boat builders and that's when I got on to Hourston and Double Eagle. Fast forward many sleepless nights of deep thought and well, the rest is history. The sleek lines and design of the Hourston really caught my eye so I began researching this boat, the more I researched the more I liked, as you know I bought a 20'er first, then had second thoughts that it wouldn't be big enough, so I found a 23'. Again, thinking of how much we used our past boats, ALLOT, and the number of people we have onboard, ALLOT, while out enjoying Kal, Okanagan and the Shuswap's I thought it best to get the 26'er. This boat will be spending most of its life on the interior lakes of BC with, hopefully, at least 2 x 5-7 days to the coast... with that being said I want to build this boat in such as ways that it will not only function for my needs but for others as well, if I ever decide or need to sell.
Also, the 23' Hourston is sold so for the record I have only ONE boat the 26' Hourston, I am still doing some work on the 23' for the new owner while I have some time.
Now you have it, kool beans!
