There are a lot of things I love about this boat. That's just one of them. :)
FWIW, the European market might be bit larger than the US market. In a 2019 Business Insider article that tallies the number of yachts over 80'...
LOL. You have to look real close. I bet you can't even see her. ;-)
Yes, that's me. When my girlfriend wears a leopard print bathing suit, she blends right into the salon sofa. :-)
Yes, the right crew makes all the difference in the world. In their safety spiel, they warn people about becoming intoxicated which increases the...
I bought it three years ago from owners in Hilton Head, SC but it has 2 x CAT 3412e engines so it's got to be a different boat.
I don't do overnights because it seems to be a much bigger commitment than a 4 or 8 hour day cruise. I don't especially want to wake up with a...
After owning a houseboat for 8 years, I took the plunge into the world of yachting. To say that I've learned a lot would be an understatement....

I have a related question. It's that time of year again and I'm about to change the oil in my 3412e's as well. I've used Rotella T4 in the past...
"Tugboat" is a generous term to use for that little guy. Life on that stretch of river seems to be fast and furious!
I wouldn't go any further until I knew what was going on with the generator. A new one for my boat (Johnson 70') costs $25k plus installation...
Here's a thought, Jeff. Have you considered a houseboat? Find one for sale on a lake in your area and take a look. It's a bit safer than ocean...
I've bought a couple of Morse controllers and a control unit from these guys within the last year. They're pretty helpful and have decent...
Got it -- thanks.
My new thread "Boat sales are booming" was moved to a non-primetime area and closed. I think it's a relevant topic especially since it addresses a...
This NY Times article suggests that boat sales are way up, often to first time buyers:...
