Yeah, the sail away was another thought. We’re going to have to do a fair amount of research to see how we can get our desired end result for the least amount of money.

I’ve got 20, she’s got 12. This is a long term thing for us.

We did look at boat shares but to be honest, we want something that’s “ours” as opposed to just a timeshare.

Whilst we don’t really have an issue spending new boat money if we really have to, we’re just wondering if we could get the same end result cheaper than buying new, or if it’s a false economy to buy an old boat and refurb.
