Just sell the house and start looking for the right boat. If you intend to live on it, people seem pretty happy with their 58 Hatteras...
I think you'll find that recreational marine electronics are not as advanced as those used in general aviation today. Electronic engine, glass...
Tap Out:D I like that guy ... hope somebody takes that ugly thing off his hands.
Thanks ... I almost moved the boat down to Portsmouth VA for the overhaul .. they were very uneasy about taking the basket case job...
