    The alert viewer will notice all that Nick does for us even before offering 'the complete tour'. Batteries and all lights on, then sorting out how to 'get' at each of the areas, and then digesting the best way to proceed with the tour. And all that before we see the first image and the occasional struggle to tour, one-handed. Again, thank you Nick.

    Windy have always made quality vessels but the quality of all the big manufacturers in the 90s/00s is unrivalled and it shows to this day. These are solid and so well built. A lot of these era boats look in far better condition than their 2010s counterparts.

As for the lounge they don't come much nicer unless your are spending well into more than 6 figures

    @PreacherwithoutaPulpit 2 года назад +2

    I know people don't normally live aboard these little power yachts laid out as this one but I think it would make an excellent live aboard. Add in a lithium setup with inverters, a small geni to keep the batteries topped off when not running the engines, some 12/24v coolers for that little bit of extra cold storage, as well some of the new AC tech for boats/rvs that is out there now and I'd be set. She get's decent fuel millage so my only concern would be getting her to somewhere like Florida, or anywhere on the East Coast really, as a good jumping off point. I think she'd be an excellent platform for the intercoastal loops or even a jaunt down to the islands. So not all that expensive when you consider the live-aboard aspect and what you could do with her...
