Hi Guys and Gals,

We are looking for a boat like this...http://www.theyachtmarket.com/boats_for_sale/15285

...to do up and love for the rest of our lives. Any one recommend a good US boat for sale as this one is in the UK!

Here's one company you could look through - http://www.cppyacht.com/power.html

Maybe an older Broward, Feadship ( sweet ) or on and on. If worse comes to worse there are some older beauty's on eBay but most of the time they are not so well taken care of.

Re: Any ideas on this....

I think she's absolutely beautiful!! A couple of drawbacks that should be kept in mind - she will roll like a barrell in a beam sea, pretty rounded bottom. Doesn't mention any type of keel so let's assume it would be the average two to three feet ( one meter tops ). You really have to love to do brightwork as there is a bunch there. Would love to see some interior shots.
All in all a very nice yacht.

we are so in love with her! but she is so far away! imagine mooring up a small creek light a fire and eat the fish you caught earlier in the day - BLISS!

Thanks for all the other replys by the way!

she's beautiful, just hardly practical. her draft is 6 ft. i live in Jacksonville, Fl. and she would have a very hard time navigating in our waters. do to the fact that our huge river's average depth is 4 ft. other than the channels. you would not get up many small creeks.
