ude, How long you been at this? A boat an hour and half from you is in your backyard. ;-)
I almost died laughing on that one...Ditto...You need to get serious before you start looking for a boat...an hour and a half drive come on...we commute to work here in Seattle that much every day...If you have to fly there to look at it then fly there...
There are times in our lives where we do have to act quickly or loose out...this does not sound like one of them though from what has been reported...But next time you find a boat that tickles your fancy...GO LOOK AT IT...Tie it up contingent to survey and sea trial...Then start asking all your questions...There will be another flood of well meaning advice for you to wade through...but ultimately it will be your decision and yours alone..
There are many boats out there with your name on them you just have to find them very rarely do they find you....Keep looking you'll find her...The problem is the next week you'll find her again.
