Hello all,
I'm really liking just about everything about the Krogen 42. It's the perfect size, pilothouse up, full displacement, soft chine, covered cockpit, flybridge... It's everything I've ever wanted in a boat. It's even lovely to look at.
Now comes the question... Would it be reasonable to expect to find one in good shape for under 200 grand? My budget isn't very firm yet, as I'd be selling out and all, but I think it's pretty close.
I currently own a 24 year old boat, and there's always something wrong with the damned thing. That's what worries me, I guess. Just about all of the KK42s in my price range are even OLDER than my boat. I know there's no such thing as a perfect boat. I certainly expect to have to work to maintain whatever I end up with. But I don't want a handy man special fixer upper...
I told you guys I had lots of stupid questions!!
