I hope the mods will be OK with this thread in this forum.... (Not quite FSBO)
The hunt is getting more serious. If at all possible it will he a Hatt. Don't know why, but I have the bug for these boats. Wife agrees, as long as it's a 53MY or larger..... well larger is not going to happen this year. Maybe down the road.
So, I know the argument for: "Buy the nicest one you can afford" and I'm not disagreeing with it. But, looking at the dogs is entertaining and informative. And, being a hands on guy can help the budget, to an extent. Again, thanks to work I can travel economically, so call it "educational field trips" With that in mind, I solicit information from anyone with DIRECT knowledge of any of the following boats....(all on Yachtworld)
1: Pensacola FL...... MY Empress, listed at 99K
2: Fort Lauderdale, FL...MY Lady Bonnie, listed at 117K
3: Fort Pierce, FL MY Hinesite, listed at 119,5K
4: Marblehead, OH MY Ship Fantasy, listed at 125K
5: Heathsville, VA MY Luisa Cristina, listed at 129K
That should be enough for now......
Thanks, O.

#5 has a 18?x18? "soft spot" on the foredeck, hours are unknown, the meter broke was never fixed and owner never tracked hours cough cough and needs updating everywhere and could use a good paint job. No stabilizers and Has been on and off the market for a while.

Re: Anyone know these boats out there?
Yeah, after talking to the broker I'm aware of the "hours unknown" issue. Then again, I often wonder how accurate the hours are when the Hobbs meters are working.....
Only a documented maintenance trail can be a reasonably sure answer, and yo don't see those very often.1978 53' Motor Yacht "LADY KAY V"
