Sage advice IMHO. Plus, since its a donation boat, it's available with terms over 3 years with no interest.

Talked to the broker about that one and told him I’m looking for turn key.

That ain’t it, according to him.

Strangely enough, that’s where this Broward is. Just noticed that.

That’s not what I was told. It was some shared ownership deal.

The date stamped photos from 2015 were troubling.

Sent me a PDF. No date on the photos, or we would have had that conversation much earlier. She dodged my question when I asked.

Where did you find dated ones?

Just curious.

If I were the paranoid type, I would think I’m being stalked.

I happen to be taking an Eastern Caribbean cruise with a veterinarian friend of mine next month. I took a 52C with Toby to Turks and Caicos a few years back and have done several cruises, but not to the BVI’s. New water is my thing.

I personally love cruising, even though the only time they let me run the ship is when it loses an engine.

Only way to do the BVI is on a small boat that can get into all of the mooring fields. Charters there are prevalent and a fun way to spend a week or two.

As was the case with my Alaskan cruise, I would much rather do it in a smaller boat.

My vet buddy takes his staff on a cruise every year, and he invited me to come along. We will all be wearing matching T-shirts for at least a photo op or two. Beyond that, he and I will do our own thing.

Who knows?… we may even rent a small or not so small boat and do our own excursions. Either way, I have zero doubt it will be a good time. I took him on a three week delivery a couple of years ago. He enjoyed it but said he would never do it again. No doubt he will be a charter customer when the time comes, but for a week vs a month or more.

Dont worry... I dont need any charts; I do this all the time!

................... but it was anything but comical given I had booked non-refundable flights and would be charged a late termination fee for cancelling the rental car. .......

Why not just go and look at it and make an appropriate lower offer? And while up in the area, look at other boats, ahem I mean yachts.

Given what I learned, it wasn’t worth the trip.

It was costing me money in more ways than one just to view it, and I had obligations that made it a two day trip. Besides, everyone kept telling me I was screwing up with an aluminum boat, especially a Broward. I’m looking at it as a blessing in disguise.

For years we had 2 Burgers winter here in Vero. Quite honestly back in the 80’s even 90’s 80-90’ was huge. And Burgers were considered the Rolls Royce of the big yachts. One was called Silver Cloud and had been featured in multiple boating magazines over the years. The lady who owned it called a friend of mine who was a carpet guy in town to replace stained carpets on the lower deck companionway. His guys rip out the carpet and find the tackless strips that hold the carpet are fastened to the aluminum deck with sheet metal screws. They start pulling the screws out and little geysers of diesel start squirting out of the screw holes. Turned out the deck was the top of the main fuel tank. Apparently last guy who put carpet in drilled into the tank and screwed down the strips. If I remember right they actually flew someone from Burger down to plug and seal the holes. Lady who owned the boat told my friend that they always wondered why the boat smelled.
My friend told me the story and added “see rich people have problems too”

Yeah, but they have higher-quality problems...
