Not a huge fan of Galley down boats but that one really has some nice features.

Final point, been made several times already. Unless you are putting many hundred hours on the meter every year fuel cost isn't much of a consideration. Keep out of the four barrel and those thirsty beasts will just sip the fuel and last forever.

Yeah, we aren't doing any major cruising, so much as we are living on a floating home tied to dock in a marina.

Like I said, after hearing people tell you you're going to blow up every time you mention your boat, it kind of starts to wear on you. We really love the boat we are on, and we are looking forward to taking it out this summer as much as possible.

It's 23 years old this year, but it only has 600 hours on the engines. And they do sound quite lovely when I crank them up in the mornings. That low rumble gets me every time!
