Go and have a look at this clicky a pilothouse with some good kit.
If you are a fit 6 footer you will quickly learn to manage her. Warmer than anything else you are looking at and a MUCH BETTER liveaboard.
My concern would be the deck. It would need to be gone over by someone who knows what they are doing. If it looks like the whole deck is rotten and needs replacing walk away, a couple of sq feet would be an easy fix. |
It's ferro.  Better have it checked out by someone who knows ferro well. Locally, both John Sampson and Chris Deiner are gone now and the were the fount of all knowledge re: ferro construction. Also, $39K is a lot for ANY ferro boat on this continent.
The CST is a much better choice IMHO, even though it's 1/2 the size.
