Surprised no one has mentioned CG rules and higher insurance costs if you charter. I thought any boat being chartered had to satisfy a whole host...
You didn't mention fishing, but if you're interested in fishing the post-2004 Mikelson 43 SF checks most of your boxes. Best flybridge of any SF...
I don't think it's got anything to do with the doc. Pretty high up on the hull for that.
The boat was on an end-tie so I couldn't get a good look at the stb side. It would be very annoying to have to continually deal with this.
Even if cosmetic, is this the kind of thing that'll keep coming back after repair?
Used to seeing crazing, not that. Worried about it coming back after the repair.
Still looking. There's a boat the wife and I like, but it has issues with hull cracks in the paint (hull was painted over the gelcoat) that I'm...
Chip on the shoulder much? You are reading a ridiculous amount into what was intended to be a positive response to OB's good fortune having in...
I was thinking if I could get one in my price range (around $1mm) then maybe, but the ones they had at the time were around $1.6 as I recall....
Must be nice. I've thought about weakened dollar but in the boats I'm looking at it's hard to believe that's a real factor. Maybe it is, but I...
I'm feeling the same way. Thinking of flying out soon from SoCal. Ridiculous what's been going on but I'm sensing a little bit of softening....
Have you contacted Mikelson? When I texted them several months ago they had a couple pocket listings, out of my price range.
Without question prices are higher, at least 20% and often more. I've been hunting motor yachts in the 55-70 foot range (mostly Hatteras 64s,...
OK thanks--this is a 2011 64'.
You sure it was a 64 and not a 61? The engine room on the 64 looks pretty good. If you're inclined check this out. Engine room video starts at...
Thanks. I do like the fact that there's no balsa on the Princess and it has a better layout, but I hear you.
OK thanks. Wishful thinking I guess. What do you think is a better built boat (assuming initial bugs worked out and similar maintenance, which I...
Still looking. Frustrated at the craziness of the market right now. Anyway, looking at the 63-64 Sunseeker Manhattan but none of the pics show...
Just wondering if I need to be concerned if it's a 14 year-old boat. The ones I'm looking at have c-32s.
Picking up on this thread since I'm looking at these too. Capt J--are your views on the Marquis boats here for the 59', 65' or both? Reason I ask...
