Hi, all! My Husband and I are looking to buy a 40'
Irwin Citation that has been
on the hard for at least 2 years and does have a few
leaks but seems to be structurally sound. It does need
electrical re-wiring, but my Husband can do a lot of this himself. As he is a certified
Mechanic for over 30 years. The owner does not live here and I guess a
family member came down with an illness, is why he cut his dream short. This would be our first
live-aboard and we are determined to leave the hustle and bustle land world, not to travel Far, Far away... But just be simple, comfy and live among the
boating community. The only thing is, we would have to live near by Green Cove Springs Marina to
work on the
boat to get it in the
water and livable. This guy was asking 20,000 for the vessel, but after I took pics. and my husband and I pumped the
water because of the
leaks , he is willing to
work with us. We have looked at getting a loan, however, hardly anyone would loan for a
boat. We could get a loan for a house, but not a boat. Wow.. go figure, anyhow, we really would love to get on the water ASAP! But can't afford to rent, pay for
storage And fix the boat. Has anyone had this experience? And if so, would love some feedback. Thanks and Happy Sailing!
