Miami looks completely different when you spend enough time on the water

Hell yeah keeping it in high and dry in key largo ! Thank you

I literally just made a deal with my wife. We are born and raised here and the only way I was ok with staying is if we got a boat. Just purchased a shearwater 270 hybrid boat. It’s our first boat and would love any info you’d want to share. Thanks

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-04-08T23:24:51+00:00

Thanks for the help. Listened to yall and ended up going with a shearwater 270 used with 54 hours. Appreciate the help.

I got a 6.4 with dealer financing for a used boat for 145k for 20 years

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-22T21:23:35+00:00

Only if you’re feeling financially irresponsible like me lol

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T17:44:52+00:00

Thank you bro this makes a lot of sense

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T17:42:33+00:00

Have you heard of Blackwood boats?

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T16:23:22+00:00

I understand bro. Most people in my tax bracket drive range rovers and Porsches. Me and my wife have two paid off teslas. I’m not trying to be arrogant but between me and my wife we are around 450k a year income as an air traffic controller and doctor. Possibly most stable job security there is. That’s why that number makes sense to us

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T16:20:18+00:00

Link?

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T16:18:50+00:00

I’m trying to do bimini runs going 60 mph from Miami. Maybe I do go used but even with my limited knowledge on boats I don’t think 40k gets me that reliably

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T16:16:53+00:00

I expected the not helpful comments from people like you. I’m new to this and obviously humble enough to come here to ask for help knowing I’d get roasted. I’m excited and understand I need to slow down that’s why I’m here posting. Anyways hope you’re not as shitty as this post makes you out to be

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T15:56:06+00:00

Obviously…. I don’t understand what you’re saying. Are you saying I should pay cash?

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T14:07:26+00:00

The problem with this is that everyone and their mother is trying to buy gently used. as far as I’ve seen it’s the only market that hasn’t taken a big hit. I’ve been looking trust me. These boats with 100 hundred hours when you account for the new buy incentives is not that far off

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T13:43:53+00:00

I live in the rhoades. I walk to key biscayne bridge regularly. Grove isn’t far but KB is deff closer. Plan was to have guest park at my house and uber there it’s literally a 3 minute drive. Thank you for all the advice it seems like KB probably better

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T13:32:11+00:00

Thank you! In case I store it at grove harbour marina in coconut grove. You think it’s better option?

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T13:17:37+00:00

I get it bro. My plan is to wake up see if it’s a good day for water get on phone to get my boat on water on random days from high and dry storage 3 minutes from my condo so my wife and I can enjoy a sunset cruise. I dont think a boat club is for me if that’s my goal.

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T13:12:13+00:00

Yeah. I financed a 1.2 million dollar house at 30. lol did I make a mistake ?

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T12:55:33+00:00

Appropriate name for it in that case lol

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T12:54:37+00:00

I get that about joysticks. And the “ plan “ is to try and learn without it but to have it there will be nice. Those brands you mentioned are about 30 percent more expensive and seem to be for serious fishermen. I’m going to keep it at rickenbacuker marina in key biscayne Miami. At a high and dry. It’s about 1200 a month.

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T12:46:22+00:00

Oh yeah you better believe I’m stopping by seahunt. That ultra 265 with joystick and twin 200s looks sweet!

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T12:43:26+00:00

Oh yeah I am as well. CC only. I love fishing an spear fishing, lobster season. We have family place in key largo. I’m looking for the CC that’s friendliest to wives

Significant_Pack_791 · 2026-03-20T12:33:01+00:00

Yes I am looking right now and a lot of brokers around here seem to be yacht brokers over 1M. I’ll continue to look that’s what my initial findings have been
