We have made an offer on a KK42 that has been accepted and we are preparing for the survey process over the next few weeks. I have to be honest with the group here and take all the “what the hell’s were you thinking” that will come my way. It’s just when you know you don’t have all that many years to enjoy retirement with semi decent health you go for it as we have. We have ZERO experience other than a three day class we took at Anacortes on a Nordic Tug 42 last week. At least we got single screw experience in the wind. We plan on starting out by learning the ropes in the San Diego area hopefully under the tutelage of a good Captain or teacher. What I need is any recommendations and costs estimates on insurance and coverages that the group would recommend. It will be a 1985 KK 42 with stabilizers, bow thruster, 135 Hp Lehman and 8 KW Onan generator are the basics. I know there will probably be some insurance requirements on hours under a Captain‘s eye. Other than that not sure what else to expect. Any help would be appreciated.
