I get it. My wife bought this house for the view before I knew her and gave not a thought to the house. I'm in the process of rebuilding it - including many things which either shouldn't need it or...

Maybe it's time to start looking again. I think the interest rates have a lot to do with it. They affect home buying and boat buying is much more discretionary than home buying.

It is not immediately serious. It is an idea I had that seemed good, but sounds like it is probably more expensive than just buying a brand-new boat that is exactly what I want.

But I'm going to...

Practical considerations about adding electric drive

Say a person had a 40' boat with twin 375 HP engines. It can cruise at 20kts and tops out at 24kts. But say sometimes you wanted to go that fast, but usually not. Or maybe you wanted to scream out...

But you have to get on and off of it without clambering over the bulwarks. They are pretty high bulwarks on the KK42. Higher than my wife's or my "inseam". Hence the desire to cut a door. The...
