That's a great story and one you don't hear too often. Most liveaboards don't go boating once they move on board, and most boaters don't use...
From owners I work for it is definately less likely to buy for about half of them. BTW there is a 63' Manhattan on the market with traditional...
That's because the lower salon is a COMPLETE waste of space and time. We have galley down and lower salon and upper salon on the 62' Predator I...

Surface Drives = Arnesons (Arneson is the major manufacturer but there are other brands). With surface drives you can do hull speed and...
Why would you want to only stay in a marina 5 days? Everyone said most of the good area's to anchor in, not anchor in, ports to use and not use....
Yes, you can run those motors at 1000 rpms and then run them at cruise 1/2 an hour every 4-6 hours and they should be ok. I second Olderboaters...
In that size range it will be very difficult in many normal places/anchorages just due to the sheer size of the vessel. Some places it should not...
