Bash, I kind of like disasters. I bought a 1955 jaguar mc ots once it was really bad. But I worked on it, learned a great deal and broke even when I sold it. So maybe all good deals are not disasters. money pit, yes I agree. A boat that size is going to require quite a bit of upkeep and feed, since I am not independently wealthy it requires me to consider boats that need stuff...so the search continues.

I don't want to jinks it...but I may be getting close! Very nervous..the idea that I may actually get this boat and then all the pressure of bringing it back and the dollars that will take,, well it's all so overwhelming. I just keep telling myself to eat this elephant one bite at a time. I'm in no rush..deep breaths...

I know how you feel, buying its the easy part, then you're on the hook for whatever comes next. Is a bit scary.Good luck buddy, and if you need a hand, just hit me up.

well I got a verbal done deal but no signed contract yet. so getting closer.

familycruisers · 29-02-2012, 22:44

Oh yeah? Any details or you dont want to jinx? or have someone snipe. I was afraid of that. Didnt post much about the boats I was searching.

Well ladies and gentlemen I have a signed boat contract! survey, sea trial next. 60 ft on the Chesapeake just took a huge step toward reality.

So don't keep us in suspense any longer. What is the boat????

I guarantee I am happy with my 33 ft on the chesapeake and won't be trying to steal your purchase. The $1500 frigoboat system I installed this weekend, as well as the low hours yanmar, make it so.

you were on the money weeks ago! Its the nautical development up in Ny. yes I know its a project but I think it has good bones and well I just like it. The voyage down the coast will be the shake out cruise. the plan is to haul it back out once I get it down here and fix the decks. So I will move this to the construction section and post lots of boat porn when I get to that point.!!!
