That 46 could be interesting. 892's? Has to scream. Interesting that with that type of repower, no pics of ER...no hours indicated either. No mention of the Ohno genny either (perhaps its a well deserved mooring block).

How would one-man handling of the 50/52 work (with somebody that knows what they are doing)? For 1 or 2 person cruising, all of them would be plenty sufficient--with smaller ones easier to deal with...except for tighter engine room. But modern engines give some more room in the 43 and 42. I'm open to any other boats as well. My budget is going to be 80-100k with a little leeway on top if needed. Obviously, all these boats mentioned will have to come down to meet me. The 43c with 630hp and only 26knots is strange. Over on HOF a guy said :"I have a 1986 45 with QSM 11's rated at 535hp. Cruise is 24/26 and WOT is 28/30 - depending on props. At the 535hp rating the engines should go 10,000 hours before rebuild." I just have to get out and look at them and see what feels right. I've run my 50 all over by myself. the key is to plan ahead and have lines on the cleats with the bitter ends secured on the rails where you or a dock hand can grab them easily. Slips where the outside poles are beyond the length of the boat are a problem where you need someone else while you hold the boat inplace while you get the lines on. I delivered Mike Pussys 53 for the previous owner by myself. My's are a huge PIA because you have to fish the stern lines thru the aft enclosure. I kept the lines on the cleats and secured them to the swim platform but that still meant I had to get on the platform to get to them. If I had any doubts I tied up to the gas dock and got some help first. Never be to proud to ask for help. Youl be fine! I may be stuck in the past but I still believe that 71 or 92 DDA's will be the most reliable and easiest to fix for a hands on guy like you. their rude and crude take no real special tools to fix and will keep running as long as they get air and fuel. (DDEC excluded) You can be 1000 miles from nowhere all the electrons on the boat go on strike and the DDA's will keep pounding away.

I sitting on my aft deck, on my aft, and Rift Raff did a slow pass by my stern. It does look very, very nice. I thought it was much newer! Not fer sure, but the owner of a small chain of restaurants named Rafferty's had a boat with the same name.. might be the same guy.. but a good looking boat.

and for what its worth, Ill bet it's been sold because the guy at the helm sure looked like he was playing with his new toy, and the hailing point in no longer on the transom.

We have a 42c, and love the boat, however, if I was considering any liveabloard, I would opt for at least a 46, the 4 feet with the addition of the dinnette makes a huge difference.

Yeah but who knows what the offer is. A broker friend told me he's had several deals where the offer was less than half the asking price.

Yeah but who knows what the offer is. A broker friend told me he's had several deals where the offer was less than half the asking price. I looked at a 65SF that had a $400K ask. I offered $200K and was relieved when they didn't take it. I know of 2 other offers in the 225K range that were accepted but the buyer pulled out before closing. This was over the last 2.5 years. Boat is still on the market with the same asking price. Previous owner of my boat looked at that one back in'08 when it was listed for $685K. Same owner same broker and it's been on the market all this time. I looked at a near perfect 55C that started out with a $329K ask. When I looked at it they were asking $299K. I offered $160K but they weren't interested. This was 3 weeks before they had to get the boat out of SC for tax reasons. They opted to hire a capt to move the boat to Palm Beach. Nine months later they sold the boat for $163K. Asking price is just that, no reflection on what they actually sell for. If the boat is priced right it will sell close to ask. If not it will get offers based on what it's worth. It's up to the seller to decide if he's willing to accept the reality of that or not.
