We have an 89 36' SP and have had it for 5 years. I get a good 6.7 miles to the gal. Three years ago we could go from PA to AZ & then to Tampa FL & back to PA for $1500.00 fuel The past three years we have been just going to FL in the winter & this year it was looking like it was going to be $2000. to FL & back till fuel started to drop. The ZF tranny is the only technical thing that I could be concerned about. So far it has given me good service & the 3208 300 TAA is not that much different that the older Cat.
The SP has enough storage in the basement for me & my wife & we are in it for 3 months. I like the way it rides over the 33' FC that I had before it. I can drive it all day & look forward to the next day. After 5 years I'm still doing things on the inside of mine.

I know this could be a blondes to brunettes question but I am
considering a move up from my FC 31 to a little larger Bluebird. Don't
want to start a debate but I would appreciate it if some of you would e-
mail me off list or post a private message as to what your opinions are
one to the other. I understand completely that I will have to make my
own decision but I would like the thoughts of others. Why did you
select the PT or SP and would you do the same next time around? Any
known weak points or particular disadvantages.

By the way the Napper is for sale and I intend to be reasonable about
it. "jehdds%40hotmail.com"
