RobTX... There is an Amazing amount available here!! Good luck! Gdavid. Waterfront is hard to find reasonable. They want Gold for any advertized places. LoL Thats one reason im getting a smaller boat. Just a 16-18' fishing boat for exploring the tributairies. Thanks for all the Info. Hard to...

RE: Fuel use. Upkeep. A smaller boat to learn and get my feet wet in a few hours a week wouldnt use too much fuel. Im just concerned for the long distance trips in the future. 6000 miles on the Great Loop, 500 miles a month at 1gpm vs 3gpm vs 5gpm can be a huge difference in total costs. I have...

SeeVee... WHOAAAA Nelly!!! A Wife might be nice but I DONT wanna rush into anything! Im only mid 50s!! ? Seriously, I have thought many times how my life might have developed with a moderating/ civil buffer And someone to 'grab the end of the box please?' LOL I'll concentrate on the Land and...

ODan. That was a concern lol. Glad you reminded me. One property is right off the Ohio but a low bridge... Bryant. Im just here for now. Im getting an acre in SW VA to put my RV on and scout around for my perfect Rural River front places i can dock my boat at. In western TN or along the...

Pair of Lehmans for $5500? Im listening... lol Anyone have information on the newer ones? Like the 80's sport fishing trawlers.

Chertrude... What did you come up with?? I saw an 85 42' Sport Fisher/Trawler locally. Luved the layout!! While investigating them. They have ALL kinds of options and motors available. The local one had big DD V8s and No engine bay room. But another had twin Yanmars but no pic or model listed.

Hey Guys... I like the Grand Banks! But then I came across an 85 bluewater and Luv the layout and set up of it... im not really looking for a beautiful classic to hand down to children I dont have yet. I want something I can live aboard comfortably while traveling the Great loop, Cruise and...

Rsn48. In Mn we have some Very strict shoreline rules and laws in place. Kinda why I have been hoping to find an Old old farm site with some sort of docking site on a river. Slowgoesit.. lot of info! In Mn they can get pretty permit happy but not too hard to just follow the rules, find the...

Yep. I mainly went to tour it and get an idea of its layout. Like the very tight engine bay with big V8s. The rest is actually Really nice! (Layout. Not condition.) I Like the teak everywhere inside. Fiberglass decking. Things like that. But as you and Firehose said 'another will be along'... ;)

Firehoser/Northern spy/others What is your opinion of rebuilding a sunk or otherwise salvaged boat? I have seen a lot of threads (here, passage, etc) about abandoned/sunk/too $$$ to fix boats in various spots around the country, just for hauling them away. Once I sell and go RVing; I will have...

Slowgoesit... Im looking at a few places in western KY/TN. The one I prefer has a rock ledge but no dock yet. For about 50k ill have 4 acres with all New power, water, dock, and ramp. Plus a gravel parking area for the boat, RV, and a few other vehicles. What would prohibit me from living...

Any threads you can mention going over the Composting upgrade?? Interested in doing it 'when' I get mine. I Like the concept, works great at my terra firma cabin... so... Looking into the Water world use- Pro/Con...

I found a pic of one out of the water. :mad: it IS a really shallow hull design. I was hoping it might be more like the older Bluewater Pilot house trawlers from the 70's. Still going to check it over. LOL Thanks for pointing that out. :o

Rgano. I have read up on the duals being easier to manuver once you lestn how to use them. I'll look into the 'debate' more. Thanks Spinner. Thanks for the pointers. I'll look into the Insurance brokers...

Rgano- thanks for the info! Fuel use is a big factor in my opinion! Whats your opinion of one vs two engines? I like the safety factor of Two. But simplicity of One. I'll look into the depth and hull info on it. From my research (not much to find) they made them all 'semi' custom and came in...

The 42' blue water with the big V8 diesels.

The 42' blue water with the big V8 diesels.

Firehoser & 007. Those are the pointers I am looking for. I stopped at Silver Bay Marina a few weeks ago (allowed to walk the docks, not a locked and gated area) and chatted with a few owners about why they chose thier boats and pointers on liveaboard. A few trawler types to look at. Im still...

Old dan... Thats another issue. Getting used to the rolling/constant motion... with bad knees. Portage... I like the idea of the Fidhing trip �� I can easily justify That! LOL... I'm just using the financial term in general. IMO- Expense is more a Non-returned money transfer...

At about a grand a day. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a beat up boat and Upgrade after I'm done 'beating and learning' on it? You wouldnt lose $10k if you buy carefully. Boats and Everything are up right now. But that is going to Pop pretty soon! THEN ill be investing. ��
