Hi: I’m Canadian and have a slip in Maple Bay on Vancouver Island. Looking for an aft cabin design with a bridge, not a pilot house. Ideally with a cockpit. The list below is for the perfect boat, so looking for one that ticks as many boxes as possible.
Prefer price to be under $100,000 USD
1) Aft cabin design
2) 38-42’ but some 36’-38’ can work with 13’9” beam but maybe able to go slightly wider.
3) Twin diesels, prefer: Perkins, Lehman, Cat, Cummins.
4) Not Volvo, Hinos, Detroit Diesels
5) Well maintained, no deferred maintenance.
Prefer a boat where previous owners have updated and taken of repairs, updated appliances (large fridge), and electronics-radios, radar, chart plotter, etc. Dripless shaft seal, good size tanks, updated electrical, heads, heat, etc.
6) Under 42’ max preferred but will look at slightly longer
7) Year- prefer newer than 1980 and Taiwanese after 82. All North American built are ideal. Less brightwork, the better!
8) No wood hull.
9) Cabin ceiling height higher than 6’3”
10) Hydraulic steering
11) New tanks-no steel fuel tanks
12) No teak decking price would reflect to remove
13) New windows
14) Dingy with good motor
15) Sea wise system
16) Diesel generator
17) Water maker
18) Walk thru transom door from the swim grid into the cockpit.
19) Full canvas for the bridge
20) Solar panels
21) Walk around Queen bed
22) Soft ice cream machine, of course!
I know of most on the market right now, so if you have something coming up let me know. I cannot respond to postings yet as I have not posted enough times on the forum. Thanks!
