Want To Buy: Four Cabin Catamaran

[qwerme]

My advice is to get a boat you can afford.

It's easy to look at expensive boats and dream, but really, you don't have the money to maintain an expensive boat. Get something that you can DIY maintenance and repairs on (like a Wharram for example). and that living on the boat will be closer to camping in terms of comfort.

Oh, we're also looking at other options knowing that finding something that will actually work for us is extremely unlikely. However, if we can find the right boat that's worth sacrificing for, we'll definitely go for it. I try to consider as many options as possible. A cruising catamaran is just the dream.

That’s listed in this forum but it seems like a scam posting as it was called out.

I looked at the 39' privilege $78,000 in coconut Grove, Florida.
Seller wants all cash ,does not want to finance.

Besides the all cash deal, what did you think of the vessel?

Is this offer reasonable?

There is nothing reasonable about the multitudes of different adverts that have featured that cat. One has even mentioned that all of the interior wood is shot, but it’s a great opportunity to build it up. Wouldn’t touch it.
