I am in market for a first time boat, but COVID, lack of boat inventory, and high prices have "scuttled" that for this year, hopefully next year. My location is in Miami, and it appears you are in NW, can you/do you work in FL?

So, out of curiosity, what's the approximate cost to re port a port? and what size? thanks

I would be happy to review, but I'm not sure what you are referring to specifically ?? please enlighten for me, TY

hmm, $72k..... but $13k improvements and we drop to $68k.... what else am I going to pay for.....what am I missing....

PPandE, would you care to share the description of the "projects" you walked away from if they meet my criteria. We are first time buyers living in Miami, just about to travel up to Ft, Lauderdale, Ft. Pierce, Lucie as I have a list of 7 boats for ICW travel. 36'-40', budget $60k-124k, diesel...

1986 40' Kha Shing LOC Merritt Island $80k, have only seen it online

curious, we are currently looking to first time buy and I have seen a Kha Shing Spindrift pop up and never heard of it. Did you buy this boat? if so, how do you like it? Any other first time buying tips also appreciated. ty

LOL, that is NOT what is meant by a date stamp (for reasons I would have thought obvious) - no, you buy TODAY's local paper and make the photo with the paper's DATE clearly visible.........just FYI

kernr, Thanks for the update; I love hearing about what I know nothing about - LOL. My wife an I are just now looking into joining the fray of cruising and of course buying our first boat. This kind of thing gives me pause, since there is no way anyone could know about this until it...

Kernr, so, how did this episode of "Days of our lives" end??????????

Thanks amapola, my wife is totally "on board".... but, what do you mean by "even if they are documented" - I had assumed the state registration upon purchase, just like a car

ok, ranger 42c, thanks I really wasn't aware of the PEX, but guess that's what they're using on shows like TOH when they are installing these brand new plumbing systems using the blue and red hoses. Been an "old house" home owner since '79 but never used anything but copper. SO, that leads to...

currently see nothing like that in Miami, even just excluding GB and going for just charters. seems only hourly around here in Miami I'll keep looking tomorrow. thanks

$400k was listed at the bottom of the (2004) review; how ever if that was Australia $$ then the price would be 32% less in US $$ or $272k I doubt that I would buy it, especially now, since there seem to be many acceptable used boats available for under $100k right now; who knows how far the...

I am curious about this boat and it's pricing: this is 2004 review of this boat, apparent value mentioned $400k The one up in Ft. Lauderdale is a 2006, "marked down" from $225k to $149k why would the pricing drop so much?? does the fact that it was made in Australia and imported here have an...

Thank you for the follow up, that really starts to answer some of my concerns and my wife's, as she was worried about a boat that old. however, just for grins, we're going to take a look at this https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2006/voyager-v-1040-flybridge-3657500/ it's in Ft. Lauderdale and...

Yes, i would have it completely surveyed. I presented this only as an example, as in, I would hope that this Forum's collective knowledge would be able to tell me: don't consider a boat older than (??) because ie. electrical/electronic system would be so far out of date, or the plumbing, etc...

first a BOAT US Foundation FL Boating Safety Course

ok, but would a boat like this be considered (EXAMPLE ONLY) https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1977/grand-banks-36-classic-3670345/ mu initial budget is $100k, or am I totally wrong.....

Greetings all. Forgive me in advance for all the dumb questions I may ask, because we (my wife n I) are "potential" newbies. We are just now considering buying a power boat later this year, in order to make a ICW trip next year, early summer. So I am looking around for all sorts of info, not...
