Scenario 3: Weekend Family Cruising - $175k
A working couple with two young children are going cruising on weekends in a coastal environment... PNW, ICW, Alton IL, etc. No time aboard longer than a couple weeks at a time, but obviously the time aboard is highly valued, so not much tolerance for unscheduled maintenance. I know the average temperature might impact which option might be ideal, but I figured I would let everyone decide for themselves if the cruising grounds is the PNW, FL, etc. In accordance with the rules, just explain what your assumption is regarding where the weekend cruising takes place, and how that influences your choice of boat.
