Did We Buy the WRONG Sailboat?! | Morgan 382 – 4 Years Later
After 4 years of full-time cruising aboard our 1980 Morgan 382, designed by the legendary Ted Brewer, we’re finally asking the question…
Did we buy the WRONG boat?!
In this episode, we get brutally honest about our beloved Morgan 382 sailboat. We’ve made tons of upgrades, tackled endless projects, and sailed hundreds of miles — but after reviewing so many boats for BoatFools Sailing, we've seen what else is out there… and it's got us thinking.
Boat Tour & Upgrades:
We give you a full walkthrough of our refit journey — from replacing ports and system overhauls to interior mods and rigging upgrades. Was it all worth it?
Regrets, Lessons & What We'd Do Differently:
Looking back, would we still choose this boat? What did we love, what surprised us, and what would we never do again?
Whether you’re boat shopping, dreaming of cruising, or deep in a refit — you won’t want to miss this one.
