Another one of my favorite boats. . . . . I ove the blue hull as well. In many ways, my fear of moving up in a big way like this stems not from the acqusition costs, but from the continuing use and maintenance costs. I spend thousands every year on my little 23, between slip fees, winter storage, hauling, winterization and of course fuel. Would love to hear what other boaters spend per year, particularly on the big boys. I intend to keep a seperate ledger this year and see my true cost to own.
I spend 5K plus for a slip, another 2500 for winter storage and winterization (no shrinkwrap), and in a good season another 1 - 2 K on problems. I try to do all my own routine maintenance and try to figure out the rest before calling someone. Usually go through around 5 - 600 gallons of diesel fuel. Boat is a 34 Pursuit express with twin Volvo diesels in RI.
I just saw this boat was bumped up on the Judge Yachts specials site and "Highly Motivated Seller - All reasonable offers considered!" was added to the listing.
The boat is now available for 145k. The owner is sick and needs to move it right away. If you know of anyone who would be interested please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated.
