Thanks guys! So the story is the PO bought the boat a short time ago and immediately had it painted and all the windows resealed. Also all new heads and other things like ac’s were done. Plans changed and they sold it to us. It still has its issues, but considering what was already done, I think we did pretty good. This will be our forever boat for sure. It has a generator that has a cooling issue and a windless that doesn’t work. The original fuel tanks scare me, but are showing no signs of leaking as of right now. Also it has no electronics. We got this boat for the mid $80’s, so I still feel good about it.
What we really love is the 3 cabin lay out. For our family, that is ideal. That and the pretty blue paint job, this was definitely the boat for us.
So our plans are to keep her on St Pete for a couple of months then moving her towards the keys once we have the bugs worked out and we get used to her. Then from there we will work our way up to Savannah since it’s only a 4 hr drive away from our home (Charlotte) and a pretty cool city to visit. That’d be a great place to get some work done. Once we get stir crazy again, off to the Bahamas.
My wife is almost more excited than I am, our 4 yr old little girl is beyond excited and our 5 month old, well he’s still just thinking about the next time he gets to eat, sleep, and...
