[FF]

AS too the origional question about a Bruce Roberts boat .

I would get a copy of the lines plans , and call a NA to inspect the boat to see if she were built to the plans.

I would then have the NA review the plans to see if she is suitable for your requirements.

There is a huge difference in the requirements for a coastal boat and an ocean crossing capable boat.

Then I would get the boat surveyed , to learn her current condition.

If all is as you want , start having fun!!
