i havent bought it yet it is going to be more of a transport of people and materials for the island hotel project im doing. my friend owns this island 20 miles off the coast of tolu colombia... http://www.puntafaro.com/isla.html

im looking at this as regular gas is 6.50 a gal on the water, and diesel is only 5 bucks lol http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi..._id=77008&url=

im am looking for a 27 magnum marine with efi 225/250s to run people to and from cartagena once we open up... i just missed a beautiful magnum 27 that sold a few weeks ago for 26k, i looked like a brand new boat... thx for the info everyone...rm

Send a pm to Bobthebuilder- his connections in the BVI can probably help you. He ships the Nor-Tech down every year and the rates are reasonable.

Good to see you, Mr Sparky.
