Yes it up for sale. As for offshore, it's as good as any finkeel. Although, my boat has been modified to make it better with hydraulic steering, which means no backlash in the steering. And the rudder thrush bearing is on rollers. As well as other advantages over standard boats. The list goes on..........

Hello Delmarry,

So here I am looking at a couple of boats on Boatahop24 and one of the suggestions for a similar boat is a yellow Choate 40.

I know that they are faster boats, but was curious to know how they might do offshore and for longer bluewater passages hence googling "choate 40 bluewater".

Following that brought me to some posts on Cruisers Forum and really enjoying what you knew and had to share about your Choate.

Then I realized that you are from Blaine and was wondering it might be more than a coincidence?

Are you selling your Choate?

Many thanks.

Talk Soon,

Martin
