I have a minute so I thought I'd explain why we like this boat. And please tell me if you guys think otherwise.
We like the layout. We like the back deck, the molded stairs to the fly bridge and the pass through to the bow. I want something with twin small blocks but I don't know if the fuel savings between big blocks and small blocks will make that much of a difference (let me know if this isn't true). I'd rather focus on the condition of the boat over the size of the engines.
I will run this thing slow. Possible even shut an engine down for short, slow cruises? How do these boats handle on one engine?
We're planning on exploring different cities and marines. We also want to spend the night on the hook often. The generator and AC will need to be working well. Any idea how much fuel a genset burns while running AC?
Our 3 yr old will absolutely love the bunk bed. If/when we decide to make another little person, we'll figure something out.
My wife is more excited than I am. That's pretty cool. It doesn't mean that we are going to buy a junk boat. I'm here for information. I've already learned how valuable a survey is.
