Here is a list of what I am wanting thus far in a boat- a nice teak interior that doesn't need sanded or varnished- enough sleeping space for 6, and there are plenty of boats for that- cockpit area that offers plenty of seating- a diesel engine that looks like it is in great shape- a good generator, hefty water maker, a washing machine, a water rinse at bow and stern, a place for diving gear, well I could go on- enough seating inside where everyone can eat without touching elbows too much- this will be a live in boat so it needs to be somewhat comfy- I really like the teak work on say the Hans Christian boats, here is a nice 52 for sale for $245,000.00 which is in my dream budget.
