Imagine...
Sipping that first cup of coffee up on the boatdeck...man, what a view! Yours is the biggest boat here and yet in so close to the beach...easily accomplished when she only draws four and a half feet.
Guessed wrong about the low tide? No worries, since the keel-hung rudders are designed to sit on the hard, offering full protection to the running gear.
Down one deck below, a big breakfast is being served on the "back porch". All that chow came from a home-sized kitchen with real household appliances and lots of room for provisions and pots & pans.
Too rainy/humid/windy/hot? The full-sized dining table that seats six in that humongous salon still offers a stupendous outward view.
The pre-departure engine room check goes quickly: when you can stand up, and it's almost twenty feet from that side to the other, it's all out in the open. Those little inline six Cats almost look lost down here.
On the way back up to the galley, make a quick stop in the utility room to transfer the load of wash to the dryer, both full-size, and grab a few steaks from that large freezer while you're at it. Make some points with the Missus!
Your knees are thankful that there are only stairs--not ladders--up to the pilothouse...two side doors leading out to the portuguese bridge, plus super overall visibility and a portable control station that mounts to either exterior rail. Sweet.
The hydraulic bow thruster allows you to easily pick your way past that rock and the other (all smaller, you smirk) boats at anchor.
Around the lee of the island, the wind is piping on...what does twenty knots do to a 140,000 pound steel boat with oversized nine-foot Naiads? Not much.
With 1900 gallons of fuel and 8.5 knots, you think: won't be needin' a marina for the next week or so.
If you can picture this (and if you can't, here's five bucks--go to the movies) and would like to know more about this attractively priced (under half a mil) vessel, please contact me.
