Wow- Thanks!
Wow! Super responses- Thanks so much! I am a good all around handyman- been in the trades & feel confident I could handle most issues myself save a transmission or engine rebuild. Was thinking Trawler over sail, as it’s a larger, more open space, and from what I can tell, fuel costs are about even with sail/rigging replacement so it’s a financial wash. As I’ve 5-7 years before my kids are independent, this boat will likely see 75% dock time anyway. Plus, the Potomac is a lousy sailing river around DC- anything more than a 4’ draft is stuck in the channel. There are a few live aboard marina options- great advice looking for a conveyance with sale!
