    Up here at the north end of the hudson it cost $40 a foot for may-oct for the season. In okeechoobie fl its 300 a month for a place i know, IF it is deep enough there. Truth be told we will also pay for a few weeks in the keys too.

    yes, i have been told sailboats can get 8NMPG+ so we will see. the only drawback of this one is draft. she draws 6.4' and i believe they recommend no more then 6' for the great loop. hope thats a recommend, and not a firm no-go. but who knows, i may not get this boat, but this is the first offer...

    i still cannot grasp why you could not refurbish the old elbow. passage ways can be cleaned. the only thing you cant fix, well, is cracks, but then i had cracks welded in cast iron on my bayliner, held just fine. point being is if you spend a bit more time you could repair them and save cash. i...

    that must be one nice nav system. they have an awesome package now for $2000. i think you overpaid for the cooler/exhaust too?

    yes, the dock can be dangerous, i have to agree there. young babies going for a splash in average temp water is not so big of a deal thou. they have some sort of built in, dont breathe in water thing(no idea how to describe it) but they would be ok up to a certain age. of course we will be...

    thanks john. i am what they call a hotshot. a trucker that is in a smallish truck that moves small freight of all kinds. i can work from anywhere. i prefer the north east because we have the best CPM rate on cars. we are at $1 a mile for cars, florida for example is at 50CPM for cars. so i can...

    your very correct. wife and children safety come first, and this is our first. we will find a few snags, i am sure, on that end. but i have been reading blogs about children on boats. the bums have had two, on a sailboat. thats a huge freeboard, and a huge set of steps. there will be...

    if i did two new engines, a new gen, repaired the entire gel coat, every window, put in new wireing, redid the kitchen, new matresses, new heads, new canvas, new floors and walls, then maybe. i have a budget in mind of 20-50,000. not 150. for a sailboat, it would be quite a bit more.
