  • After looking all summer we have found a Small Budget Sailboat to buy. It's a 1978 Valiant 32. It still need some work but a lot of the heavy lifting has been done. It has a new engine, new rigging, new thru-hulls. It's not perfect by any stretch, but we felt good on the boat and decided to buy it. Hopefully everything works out!

    Starting with good bones. You ended up choosing more wisely than we expected.

    Congrats! Those Valiants were well designed and well-built, just had that blister problem which can be dealt with using good barrier coatings. What really makes your boat a good buy is the new diesel, rigging, and thru-hulls - some expensive work has already been accomplished and will allow you to concentrate on other upgrades.

      Having it repowered was a big selling point for us!

    Congratulations. I hope it has good bones. I would have at least taken it out of the water to see what's going on under the water line.
    Good luck

    Your excitement is palpable, congratulations on finding a boat you are happy with, you could spend years searching for the perfect boat. And all boats need ‘fixing’ whether you spend 20k or 100k. Enjoy it!

    • @Bretandmarisa
      @Bretandmarisa  8 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much! People had told us "every boat is a project, even brand new boats need things fixed" so we're not upset

    Hurray, its not a catamaran and its not 50ft, in other words its a yacht we can all relate to and affordable. Wish you both the very best for the future and will follow your journey all the way from England.

    • @Bretandmarisa

    don't you need the survey to insure and be able to go to marinas?

    • @Bretandmarisa
      @Bretandmarisa  7 месяцев назад +2

      We insured through state farm, they didn't require a survey since our boat was worth less than $50,000. We actually have full insurance not just liability for 70$ a month which we felt was good especially since we have little experience

    • @Bretandmarisa
      @Bretandmarisa  7 месяцев назад

      Typically companies will require a survey though
