Let`s talk him down $30K.
Hey that's my commission .


It may not be bargained priced , but the condition inside and out and mechanical does not reflect a bargain priced boat.

It's a 9.8 out of a 10. And the only reason it doesn't get a 10 is because the plastic is no longer on the toilet.

The old saying " you get what you pay for" and " it's far cheaper and far less headaches to buy them in excellent well cared for shape than it is to try to bring them back from poor care and maintenance "

Knots? Pretty close. With 3126 Cats (350 hp) mine cruised effortlessly at 20-21 knots (24-25mph) with people, gear and plenty of diesel. Flat out was 26-27 knots (32 mph).
Nothing wrong with running a cruiser just a different lifestyle.

.
My buddies cruises in the mid 30's area.

The guys from Statement bought a 55 diesel cruiser and we all made fun of them at first, now after riding in it, I get what it's all about. It's a blast!

hard to beat cruising in the rough but still having your beer not spill

I get all that, it`s priced well just out of my budget.
It`s all the money I spent sipping 30 year old Scotch smoking Cubans in my Cigarette jacket on the balcony of the presidential suite looking down on the little people in their Fountains.

Nice. What is the fuel usage on that unit ?
I`m warming up to the idea of the cruiser life. Some nice diesels, cruise wherever I want without worry.

Oh

Here we go again.

I can't remember where I saw it but I saw it on a brokerage site , a 50 foot Albanian built cruiser with Russian Diesels powering some surface drives built by the Polish navy.

It was a Steal.

Now that I think of it, pretty sure it was built of steel.

Yep

Gotta be careful in that diesel cruiser pursuit to happiness.


You get down to Marina Hemingway at all?

Just go get the boat I posted on Craig's List. I will come up to Chicago and drag that pesky Cigarette away, I will not even charge you for taking it. Then you can enjoy sipping on scotch and smoking a cigar while at cruise without worrying of any spills. Just don't change your avatar style.
