I'll take a 58 LRC any day, anywhere. (well, almost). But from a maintenance standpoint it's a whole different bal o' wax. If OP is dependent on others to keep all those systems going he's gonna end up in the poor house. And, it's a LOT more intricate boat to operate. You have to understand your systems. It's not like jumping in a Carver and turning the key. Oh wait....
