old days is just negative ramblings from some old codger's trying to justify a time out there sailing with the bare basics, when the guys with the spas on board these days were landlocked and had their heads down and butts up scrounging for a dollar for their dream retirement. A perfect passagemaker is a boat that will take you safely and comfortably over a long distance, keeping the water on the outside, and giving you a deep sense of satisfaction when you wrap up your lines at the end.

both Heather and Tboltmon. Heather says No COM1 Serial Port data seen, and Tboltmon shows data being sent, but nothing being received. Even tried a factory reset via Tboltmon, to no avail. Have no idea why it might have stopped working. Any suggestions ? TIA.

But without a swim step, the only option for carrying a dinghy is on the cabin top. This is not a big deal, as a lot of boats carry their dinghy on the cabin top. But there can be an advantage to a swimstep-mounted dinghy, and this doesn't seem to be an option with a VT37.
