Re: Amel 50 - Build Thread

Thank you very much.

One of the things that finally make us to decide for the Moody (apart of the Deck Saloon and floor plan) are the high walk-around bulwark sides, very similar to a motorboat....

Re: JeanneAmel

Take a look on the Moody DS45 or the new Moody DS40, they have big cockpits and Deck Saloon, and cheaper than Amels

Re: Annual costs to consider in my new boat ?

Thank you very much for the recommendation, I will double check it with the yard, however.

Re: Amel 50 - Build Thread

Quality on Moody its very fine, they are truly “made in Germany” boats, over engineered and strong, I like how germans works (just look on how they do cars, by example) and how they design things....

Re: Annual costs to consider in my new boat ?

I don’t expect to have the boat more than 6 or 7 years, so big maintenance will be done by her next owner. I will sold out and buy a new one, probably in 5 years, but sure no more than 7.

Re: Annual costs to consider in my new boat ?

The boat will be new, and total cost will be 1,4M€. 5% of this amount its around 70.000€/year which means 5833€/month, what I think its totally crazy high amount of money for maintenance.

I’m not...

Re: Annual costs to consider in my new boat ?

Thank you very much for the idea. I was planning to save each year the same amount of the insurance (about 6000€/year) in a “non-planned expenses” fund.

Re: World Provisioning for Beginners: What's not so common?

In Spain you will find non-UHT milk in any big supermarket, in the refrigerated area, but it will last just 3 to 4 days, and its expensier (due the cold transport), that’s why we usually don’t buy it.
