Nope but she looks great in the photos!

The only one I have been on that was better in person than the photos.....

Personally having had a boat with galley down, i have two words: NEVER AGAIN

That’s why I did all the work to move the galley up in my 53!!

I have wondered if that would be possible, like on a 58'
How did that conversion go?

I am in Michigan. about 45 minutes from both Port Huron and Lake St. Clair
In Romeo, to be exact.

Pascal, I agree, esp on the AC units. Every year I think she'll finally give up- and she doesn't. Amazing. That unit certainly owes me nothing.

Looks interesting and fairly well kept from afar. Priced high even with a 2021 recreational bump.

If you cringe on dropping 20K a year in upkeep and 50-100 in upgrades and repairs in the next year or two, make sure you know that it takes to stay onto of a 60' boat. Yes yes, they are guys who keep their boat nice doing most of their own work but it shouldn't be taken lightly.

Anyone note the headliner in the aft?

He replaced the entire headliner, new Ostrich skin in front bunk. Maybe the headliner is Ostrich, I don't remember the conversation, only that it was something on the order $27k or some crazy amount.

A friend, who owned many boats in his life, told me that boats cost 10% of what you pay for them annually, and less if you value your time at zero. The cost goes up if you actually go somewhere. That math for older boats seems fair, excluding upgrades.

Looks like a Earl Shieb paint job! Run!!!

The 58s have the galley forward, I built mine aft next to aft deck. May not be for everyone but I love it. We love cooking so it s nice to be up with a view. As a result the salon is smaller but it works. I have a L shape couch that’s big enough for 2 or 3 and a high low table that can seat 5 to 6 if it s too hot outside.

That sounds pretty cool!
