Thanks everyone. I'm still about 18 months out from buying something. But in the meantime,(not new to boating but liveaboards yes) I'll get my captain's license, take a few 1 week courses in diesel engines and whatever courses on the various systems in South Fla. Also will go to the Trawler show...
Lot of great vessels, but if you had $250K for a liveaboard, would you choose the Hatt 48 LRC, Willard 40, Kadey Krogen 42 , Defever 44,49 or ? (2 people 90% of the time, 75% on the hook) for Florida, Bahamas, and maybe Caribbean . Thank you
So sitting here thinking of a vessel to buy in roughly 18 months
I'm in my mid 40's , grew up around the ocean with smaller boats 18 to 28 ft for the last 25 yrs, but no liveaboards. The plan is to buy a liveaboard for 9 or 10 month stays a year. 2 people mostly with 4 people , a couple weeks...
