Morgan Heritage 46

Hello. I am looking at a Heritage West Indies 46. There is disturbingly little information on these boats out there on the interwebs. Can anyone share positive or negative experience with such boats?

I have heard rumors of tendency for Jill blistering. If this is an issue, what would be the scope of repair?

Any other construction or inherent issues I should be aware of that are unfixable or prohibitively expensive?

I'm looking at a boat that all the systems will be replaced on as a reasonable cost effective way to get a big enough boat for my family. Am I way off track with this option?

I am looking to update it and sail offshore with my young family.

Any thoughts folks could share would be great.

I'm also curious if there is a Good option for getting the boat to the great lakes? Is there a cheap way to truck it? Or am I better off taking the time to motor sail it around?

Thanks so much for any thoughts you can share.

Did you get you questions answered? If not, feel free to email me directly. My wife and I have been living on a 46' Heritage West Indies in the Caribbean for almost a year now.

Cheers,
Denis
