First off background. I'm a cash buyer, I have between 30k and 40k to spend, I've looked at some real dogs which look nice on paper but neither fit my bill or feel like home or are astonishingly expensive (sovereign lady) for example on sale at 39k reduced from 44k who would come for 30k ish. Great boats if you have the skills to move the bedroom mid ship, take remedial work on a boat that has sat for 2 years... That's not me. I build computers and networks, my carpentry skills and imagination do not exist on a level to be confident to complete a proficient job. So...45k say 35 with inspired haggling leave me with a Surplus if 4k with bugger all room for manoeuvre. On the bright side I could look at a boat own sale around 45k, go in at 40 and the result is a perfect boat where there is little requirement for me to bugger about and learn as I go along. I've hired many times, done the Lea and Stort before Broxbourne sold up. All the boats I've seen around 30 to 40 have just felt wrong. My requirements are simple 57 min traditional 65 ft cruiser or semi A smart home feel interior, professionally done.... Mid ship bedroom, no pram cover or that's the first thing on the log burner....a dinette, separate if possible....side hatch a must. Age late 1990s to mid 2000, I don't want it to depreciate , I'll look after her to keep her value. I can do engine maintain, gaze knowingly at battery banks etc... Sine wave inverter... Would be nice.... Please help guys. Much Love Des . Yes she will be mostly lived onboard with home mooring out of Hatherton on the Staffs summit.
