1.So the 19,000 BTU air conditioner will run:

a. When you are tied firmly to the dock and on shore power.

b. When the engine is running.

Looks like it will have a potential for a 100% duty cycle when you're
aboard!

Amen!

2. The swim platform:

a. Going for a swim in the water around New York City?

3. Largest sail locker:

a. Keep those plastic sails spanking new!

4. Value of $67,500:

a. Why didn't throw in another 70K$ and buy a larger boat? You can get a
decent piano for 67K$ but that isn't even near the entry fee for fine
yachting.

Anyway, congratulations on your boat. The most important thing is that you
are happy. I believe you are, and should be because 67K$ is a lot of money
to spend just to go online and troll people whose dollar price of
contentment is a lot less than yours but some how more fullfilling.

Praise!

Making a choice for the right boat is tough, but I do it better than
most. Consider the choice of the Beneteau 35s5 for a fun family boat on
the LIS.

1) Fast, fast cruising boat!
2) Light air capability better than most.
3) Clean decks, one of the biggest cockpits for 35'
4) Swim platform!
5) Draft of just under 5 feet...perfect for the LIS area!
6) Beautiful roomy interior!
7) enclosed aft cabin with room for people over 6 feet tall!
8) enclosed forward cabin with room for people over 6 feet tall!
9) Largest head ever in 35' boat with shower!
10) Excellent fit and finish exhibited everywhere!
11) Recent mylar sails!
12) Nearly new 19'000 BTU air conditioning!
13) Fantastic canvas package!
14) Largest cockpit/sail locker on a 35' boat EVER!

Some sample comments from the survey final page:

"Excellent bristol condition above average vessel. Wood and joinery
above average and appeared as new. The vessel condition reflects the
care of a conscientious crew. Estimated market value 67.500.00."

I'll be posting what we paid shortly!
