My wife spotted a boat for sale similar to that one. The boat was wintered in a climate controlled building. Annual maint costs for it was close to 100K.
I prefer sailing to varnishing... so no thanks.....

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
As a retirement, full time live-aboard maybe, but all that teak would break my heart.
$80,000 is about £40,000 and plus UK tax, would take it to £48,000.
You would sell it for that here tomorrow.
It must be classy inside too.
