We have been looking online for a cruising/live aboard powerboat for at least 6 months. Requirements are: Ideal for 2 people (do not need multiple berths), diesel, under 60', propane galley, minimum brightwork (no teak decks), dingy/davit system, under $450K, hull speed Hp is all that is needed (no need for 900 Hp), easily handled by 2 (we are 68 and 70 fit and healthy, past boat owners/experienced). Pluses are : bow thruster, washer/dryer, solar.
We recently did a 4200 mi road trip to Florida looking for such a vessel. Very disappointing to say the least - but what we realized was we did not want to do this in Florida - even though I was raised in Florida. We are looking to do this adventure in the PNW, where I have also lived and cruised (Seattle/UW Graduate).
Looking on Yachtworld, Boat Trader, even Craigslist daily for months. Any thoughts on other searching possibilities ?
