My 33.5 Hunter is docked at a freshwater lake here in Missouri. My wife and I retire in March. We are in our mid 60's. We have toyed with the idea of keeping a boat in florida, with the idea of living on the boat for a couple months in the winter and perhaps sailing along the Florida Gulf Coast, the Florida Keys, etc... Also considering a larger boat--My wife fell if love with a 42' catalina mk11 2 cabin pulman last year when we were visiting in Florida. A very wife friendly boat. I have no idea what expense would be involved (after purchasing the boat). Would this boat be appropriate? We have mostly been freshwater sailors, except for 3 different weekly charters in the Florida Keys several years ago, and a week on Tampa Bay recently. What costs could I expect regarding dock fees, insurance, maintenance?
