Folks, we've come across what we think is the near perfect boat for what we want. This is a 36-38 footer, single engine diesel, bed in the bow, with a pilot house set up. Here are the things that we'd like to do to it:
(1) It has a diesel furnace, we need air conditioning, what's involved in doing this? It has 6Kw genset and many models of this boat come with AC, but not this one.
(2) The dinghy is carried on the swim platform currently, we want it on top, with davit crane which will require modifying upper hand rails, adding crane mount, and supports for dinghy etc.
(3) We need a washer/dryer unit (Splendide combo vented model), probably modify an interior cabinet to install the unit.
While I understand this may not make sense financially any thoughts on cost on one or more of these modifications to a 10-15 year old boat? Or is this too much work and we should keep looking?
