You are correct, mooring is a big problem in the Seattle area for larger boats. I did an extensive search, but it comes down to the commute to work. I think I have found my solution, which will work for me, even if the boat is in the 50-60 range. So, that is kind of solved.
The insurance is also in place. I have talked to an agent already and it will be around $200/mo for over 50', because of the size and my lack of experience with pleasure yachts. I can manage that, too.
If I end up with a 40', all better. I think my limit would be around 55', but a nice layout 40'-er will make me happy, too. Again, it all comes back to the yearly expenses. If the budgeted 15-20% of the purchase value covers it, I am good.
