Well, I was not looking for another large boat after owning a 46 Bertram MY (long story not worth telling). But the wife had other plans. We have purchased Dave's 46 and so back into big boating we go. Although we start with a boat in great condition it will be a challenge to keep her as such. I accept that responsibility and while not in position to go "open checkbook" we will at a minimum keep up with current condition maintained. The boat will be loved and used by people and little dogs like it has been but in a different way. Plan on anchorage time more that at docks while away.
I will start at some point a new thread on this in everything else. Have lots of questions as I learn all this.
The boat's name is Esperanza but will always to us be known as Dave's boat. He has know, run, cared for, and later owned this one from the day it left the factory.
