Hello. This is just my second post to this forum. I was originally contemplating liveaboard on a 3270 but the consensus of the advice I received from my first thread pointed me in the direction of a 38' instead.
I'm hoping the above link will get you to the boat I'm looking at. I missed out on an original owner 3870 that looked really nice, that one was listed at $41,900USD and would have been a private sale. This one needs a few things and is going through a broker so I know it's not going to be an absolute great deal but I'd like your thoughts on it. Apparently the hull body and engines are in very good shape, very low hours on the diesels, but the interior and trim components have not been well looked after. The agent I talked to listed the flydeck upholstery and perhaps the saloon seating as well needing to be redone. Carpets need cleaning. Wood trim along the transom looks pretty weathered (I'm a woodworker so I think I can handle the woodwork myself), and the boat has no electronics. It would need RADAR, GPS, any of the navigational tools. I'd also like to replace the electric stove with propane. What do you think all that would cost? If I could get the boat for $35K do you think it would be worthwhile?
