Hello all. Well a little update about everything.... I am under 30 days of coming home to the states. I see the
liveaboard is still available, I'm not quite sure if that's a good thing or bad, hmmm. Anyhoo, I talked to the
broker about it on the
phone and I asked him the reason for the
sale, he told me a doctor owns it, he bought a newer vessel and this one needs to go! He told me that it just needed regular
maintenance, and that it's really nice blah blah blah... The missus and I talked it over and mulled everything over about
living aboard and all and we thought it best to regroup and wait til I get back to look at all of our options....
One idea I came up with, would be get it and use it as a "summer home" what do you all think about that? Anyhoo, there's lots of options here.
I know and understand there are variables to this question, but I'm asking for a good educated guess here. If I were to "cruise" this
liveaboard from St Petersburg, Fl to
Morehead City, NC a friend of mine predicts less than two
fuel tanks full to get her home. I said closer to four.
Here's the numbers... 41' v
hull, twin 7.4 Litres, Gas engines, pushing roughly 14,000 lbs.,
fuel capacity is 400 gallons, cruising at around 17 or less knots. St Petersburg is on the
West Coast of
Florida, around 270 miles by car to
Miami.
So, any guesses? I'm just curious.... Thanks in advance everyone...
