Boat for FL Coast & Bahamas?
Just like Dave, I plan to retire and spend a considerable amount of time onboard. I have
several questions. First, what are the best
boats (overall, including resale) for FlA
waters (with cruising to Bahamas...maybe USVIs) in the 34-39 ft range...1985-1995 for
around $50k? Speed not critical, easy to
single hand (I don''t have great upper body
strength).
Second, what is the average cost for marina
slips in Southwest FLA per foot per year?
Third, I''ve heard mixed reports about Irwins,
Hunters, and .
Any advice?
I''ve chartered and owned (24ft)but never liked many of the hot selling production boats...poor capacities, storage, etc. And
many others, are rather overpriced.
The decision matrix is big....please help me
reduce it. Or, should I say, the hell with it and buy a trawler?
