Very long story short, we went and looked at a boat and loved it. Our offer was accepted and of course its pending survey.
We live in Charlotte and this boat is in Charleston. We decided to make a little vacation out of it. We dropped our 3 yr old little girl off with my parents, flew a small plane into Charleston the day before then saw the boat the following day. It. Was. Awesome. Anxious for the results of the survey to come back. If he finds a deal breaker, no worries, it wasn't time waisted.
I'll let the pics and videos do the talking.
Loading up.
Approach to Charleston Executive.
Bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with crab cake....yes they were absolutely amazing, yes they were pretty much a full meal.
The real dinner a couple of hours later.
Again, unreal.
Rooftop bar
The next morning, we finally got to see the boat we've been looking at online for weeks. It blew us away. It was bigger and cleaner than we were expecting.
A couple of videos...

That afternoon we flew home.
The light house just north of folly.
My wife is a trooper. We avoided all of the clouds down and back...except one. I thought it would be fun to punch through at lest one ?

Hopefully the survey comes back clean enough! If not I can't wait for more opportunities to see other boats.
