Step 1 of our master plan goes into operation on Tuesday when we fly into Miami for 3 weeks to look at some boats and chat to some good people from this and the Cruisers Forum.
I have lined up around 30 boats to have a look at, as varied a cross section as I can find from a 40ft Catamaran to a 62ft Trawler, some power, some sails, some old and some not so old...
Hopefully we will get some idea of what we want and what will fit us....
Anyone got any tips for looking at the boats, we are not going to buy one this trip, it's just a look see, I'm after the more generic suggestions rather than the condition side.
Just trying to learn from others experience, is there anything you wish you had looked at / asked / checked when deciding if a boat is suitable?
There is some history of us, and a request if you are about for a chat, on this thread...
