Hi All !
Currently
family of 8 and maybe growing !!! cruising aboard our
Lagoon 450F these last 2 years now in need of a bigger cat but sticking to the $500k USD
price range. Currently in
Grenada hiding from hurricanes and
insurance hikes !
Wants: older
boat, better sailing, more
deck space, no fly bridge, lower
displacement / length ratio than our
Lagoon 450 (~200 loaded).
We don’t stay in
marinas. I do instal / maintain my systems. We do want to
passage as a
family. We currently live off
solar with no
diesel genset and AGM’s so not
power hogs. We use 40 gallons of
water per day...go
solar !
and
Cruise RO !
I will deliver our L450F OV to
Florida to sell with our
broker. But would like to move onto a different
boat first in the
Caribbean.
Young
kids but capable hands, the only help they need while
docking / handling is for ‘helpful’ adults to stay out of their way...hehe, you know what I speak of.
Boats on our short list in order (we have been aboard all):
Fountain Pajot 60
Privilege 655
Lagoon 570
Lagoon 57
Custom Cats...
Looking for something structurally sound but cosmetics don't matter. We want to make it a home,
paint walls, make bunk beds, go crazy.
Realistic monthly
maintenance budget: ~$1,500 USD (obviously doesn't include
insurance taxes registration upgrades
fuel dockage family needs, and I’ve had only 2 technicians aboard in 2 years) This aspect will be tough I know.
Resale not a big concern. We know older longer boats are hard to sell...
THANKS !!!
