That's a nice boat!
Now, you've got to post about your cruising the bay and fishing trips. Can you take it up the coast?
PS. I know nothing about boats. I do know that they guzzle a lot of fuel, hence the range may be limited depending on the fuel tanks.
Yes, they do guzzle fuel; it gets ~1mi/gal @ cruising speed. She holds 700 gal of diesel so, my practical cruising range is 550-600 miles with some reserve. It will travel up/down the coast but, it's not a 'round the world' boat like some of the larger trawlers (more fuel efficient & much more fuel capacity). I bought her in Marina Del Rey and came up the coast to SF Bay. My credit card almost melted when I filled up before the journey.
Wow!
Way out of my league but I just know you'll enjoy the heck out of it for years to come. Congratulations!
Thanks. I've spent a fair amount of time on boats but, believe it or not, this is my first 'owned' boat. I wanted something big enough to live on (edging toward that) but, it had to be affordable for someone who's not a gazillionaire. So, that meant a high quality, older boat that's seen a lot of love. I looked for 6-9 mos with a great yacht broker and found this one; now named (properly renamed) "3 Roys."
