"When this boat was for sale a year ago, 1engine ran, but the other was not. has that been remedied? You also mentioned a problem with a thru hull caused some flooding, resulting in about 2" of water in the salon, does that mean the engine room was…"
"Quimby's, since it was mentioned here are links.

"It's hard to say exactly but for a loop boat I think I would recommend Diesel, every time. Several reasons really, fuel economy at low speeds, fuel volatility and storage (diesel is much more forgiving than gasoline in general) and really the…"
"Aluminum hull Roamers can be recycled versus plastic Commanders which don't have quite the electrolysis problem of the Roamers. The 35 Commander has a full view of the bow from the helm and the Roamer cabintop precludes that view."
"Re: Becoming a Looper.
If memory serves, the 38 has 2x100 gallon tanks and probably runs on the order of 1kn mpg. Repowering with modern MPFI engines will probably boost that by >50%. You will probably be going "down-hill" on the Mississippi…"

"excellent advice and I do learn from others. i need to be realistic in my purchase and just accept the bad with the good. I know that money spent up front is worth three times money spent on the back end. a 50k boat is way better than a 10k boat…"
"John hit the nail on the head. I had a perfectly running boat that I could have left alone and done band aid repairs on for the next several years until I eventually fell into a considerable refit. Instead, I chose to tackle the bulk of it before…"
"Hi Joe - welcome to the forum. As someone who bought a relatively cheap large Commander 3 years ago, the financial wounds are still very fresh. I have spent approximately $30k in repairs and modest upgrades in that time, doing 100% of the work…"
"I have no loyalty to SC. I grew up in New Orleans, Im not that impressed with Cjharleston so far. Unfortunately my wife works for the Navy in Charleston and there is no hope of transfer for us."
"Move up to North Carolina. I pay $210 a month for my slip (the price is the same up to 30'). It would be even cheaper if I paid 6 or 12 months in advance."
"Thanks Jason, I agree, I just cant afford 8k, 4 thousand is my price point, I'll keep looking for private solutions or not so far away. I was in a US Navy Marina in VA and it was way way below market, Ii dont expect that. Jacksonville Fl, or Norfolk…"
"Joe, sounds like my story! I wouldn't be too turned off by $8K a year for a waterfront condo with a moveable view... It is just the reality of ownership and you'd likely find the same price in most communities. If you think driving 6 hours back…"
"Sorry, my timeline doesn't make sense. We went overseas in 2017."
Hello, I've been a member here for a short while, thank you. I was a Sea Scout and a yacht harbor rat in the 70s and never gave big boats a thought for years. In 2012 I lived on the Patomac River and purchased a well used jellybean cruiser (Maxum…
