Any thoughts on 45 Sea Ranger Pilothouse?

[Shelli563]

We've been looking at a lot of boats for liveaboard.* We noticed some early 80's 45' Sea Ranger Pilothouse and it seems to have alot of what we are looking for, design wise.* Since it is at some distance for viewing, thought I'd get some opinions before deciding if it is worth the trip to view.*

Does anyone have this boat and could tell us what type of fuel economy to expect?*

How seaworthy?* What kind of roll or snap can we expect?* Would you recommend stabilizers?

Any other information is most welcome!!

Thanks,

Shelli
