Maybe they'd sell for less without the charter biz.

I already suggested a Dashew FPB as the ultimate ocean crossing economical cruiser but out of GG's budget. He as a serious cruiser has always designed his boats, sail and power, for other serious cruisers. It was Steve's recommendation in his big book that had me buying my old Cal 40.

Your right I do need an Oceaneer and would love to have one. There was one for sale a couple of months ago. I tried to get the owner to hold it for me with no luck. There is one for sale in Florida, but the guy is dreaming at 900k, used.

The one in WA is really in China. It hasn't been built yet, or at least its started, and needs completion. I wouldn't buy one new, even if I had the dough. They depreciate too rapidly. Used on that is definitely the way to go.

This was the actual one we tried to get the guy to hold for us.
His terms were really unreasonable, as was he.

Anyway, the boat sold a few months ago.

Try again in a years time... you've said NO to everything that's on the market right now...

Hey Curtis,

Thanks for chiming in. Real estate can be very addictive

I can totally relate. My pick up is covered in screws, tools, switch covers... Sometimes I have to clean out the junk to squeeze in the kids

That boat is very interesting. It might make a nice Plan B boat, especially at that price. I haven't heard of the builder. Too bad it wasn't on the East coast. I had decided that my Plan B boat would have to be on the East Coast, although it seems that many of the boats that I like are Northwest

I don't want to spend too much on transporting it back, since I only plan on having it 2 or 3 years.

Thanks for posting it

Life's way to short. I say take your kids out sailing now!!!
