I've always liked these boats, for whatever reason I like a canoe stern vessel, this is funny. I at first thought the boat had mildew or mold issues, but it's just the reflection of those cool lamps lol. I had visions of Ed McMahon for a minute.

I had a contract on that boat, at a much lower price, but walked for 2 big reasons: it's 6000nm away and I didn't like having zero side decks on a vessel of that size.

wow, did you see it? Looks nice. Also the trees in the background remind of some far away place like Australia but it says Plam Coast Fl? Are you in Guam, our farthest territory?
 
Was okay, not much in the way of upgrades over the decades. Sad story of husband passing away. A tech-guy who seemed more interested in a huge array of solar and lithium, rather than the more important things. This is located in the northeast Florida region, just outside St Augustine if you know where that is. I'm in Seattle, so on the other side of the Panama Canal.

I recently sold my 1991 66' Cheoy Lee LRC (same model). I had it for 7 years and it was an absolute joy to own. I also had the 3306 Cats and they were bullet proof. I honestly can't say enough good things about it. I really liked the very heavy lay up, the solid fiberglass tankage and I really loved my Full-Beam Salon. Yes, there's no walk around there but you will really, really enjoy the huge space inside. I would much rather own a full beam salon than one with walk arounds. When mooring, we set up a line with a stainless circle that we ran from bow to stern. We simply ran the "sand line" through the SS circle, dropped it in the water, then walked to the back deck and hauled the line in with the sand line connected to it. It was very easy and worked well. These are amazing boats.
