I've lost count since my after hurricane buying spree which I acquired a Great Harbor 37 trawler that I bought to repair and sell but after using and staying on it this summer I am looking at keeping it . 2 Brand-new factory Yanmar diesel packages with literally less than an hour run time and a 100 thousand of other new upgrades make it irreplaceable and a turn key world cruiser once i address the light fiberglass damage .
I am currently docking it in front of a house in cape coral until I can get it hauled in november but after this hurricane I will not leave this boat in a hurricane zone during the summer so after I get out of the yard I'm bringing it up the Tenn-Tom to northern Mississippi to Bay Springs Lake .
Before the trawler I bought a lightly damaged Islander Freeport 36 sailboat for my retirement get away but the trawler is slipping into that spot, but I love sailing and is far more exciting even though the trawler has 4 times the living space and practically. I really want to keep it because it has a brand new diesel package and sails and though its 40 years old it looks like its 5 years old being it was shipped down to Florida from Colorado recently . Also a rare desirable bird that I don't have a whole lot of money into .
I bought a lift kept lightly damaged Hunter 26 trailer sailor up for auction because it was below cheap and I had a empty 12000 lb aluminum trailer and I wanted to camp and sail America and it cost me nothing to store,
I also have a Mc 16 fast sailboat down here along with my Livingston catamaran skiff .
Up north in Michigan I have my 19' Baron/ Powerplay that needs a resto at this point and another sailboat my Prindle 16 catamaran I know I have Blow boats on the brain but their entertaining compared to slow non performance powerboats .
So a second boat is not unreasonable, lol.
But I grew up in the 80s with my dad having a small Armada at the end of the Tdock at the MCBYC in Michigan with us living on our 48' S&S sailboat along with our 26 Monza and 19 Baron along with numerous small sailboats and dinghies.
