Want To Buy: 35'-40' Blue Water Cruiser

[Sharkbait Steve]

Ahoy!
My wife and I are looking for a 35'-40' bluewater capable cruiser. Our "dream boat" is an Alubat Ovni 385 or something similar (beachable, shallow-draft, aluminum ((or steel)) hull with a centerboard). Also of interest are full-keeled boats and boats with a longish fin keel, skeg-hung rudder and prop in an aperture built of aluminum, steel or fiberglass. Seaworthiness and the ability to survive a collision are important considerations but it should be able to sail also. We're located in north Florida but will consider boats located in other regions. Our "all-inclusive" budget is $100K MAXIMUM. This includes the purchase price of the boat plus anything needed to get it in "ready-to-go" condition. Spending 1/2 that much (or less) would be preferable. If you have a Bluewater Cruiser you'd like to sell or know of one that's available at a reasonable price, please let us know. We don't mind getting our hands dirty or making repairs/upgrades but we're not looking for a multi-year project either. We're anxious to get going as quickly as we can. Thanks!!!!

Steve.
May be able to help. What is your qualifications with boat work? What is your time frame? With the virus various states will be opening up at different times. Have a large 35' Endurance in aluminum. OAL is 42' as bow sprite and vane are not part of documentation consideration for length.


Send A PM.


Thanks

One other note...there is a 2004 Sabre 386 selling @ BVI yachtbrokers for 105,000 which is a good asking price for what this boat offers...worth contacting them for more details.
