Buy a powerboat with a blown engine and tow it to a slip. Get a small cruiser
for the summer, and with the money he saves he can charter in the islands in the winter. "The Carrolls" wrote in message ... I have a friend who may be purchasing a sailboat for a liveaboard in the spring. Greatlakes or east coast, any Ideas? |

East coast, definitely. The great lakes are way polluted and frozen over 8
months a year. Scotty "The Carrolls" wrote ... I have a friend who may be purchasing a sailboat for a liveaboard in the spring. Greatlakes or east coast, any Ideas? |

If he wants a "live-aboard" then a houseboat will be better than a sailboat. Or better yet, a mobile home. A mobile home that floats (sort of) http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi..._boats=1065337 There are dozens if not hundreds of old Gulfstar, Morgan, Endeavor, etc etc etc center cockpit boats for sale cheap. If he's willing to go with wood or ferrocement, you can get one VERY cheap. However, if he really wants a sailboat. http://www.boats.com/listing/boat_de...tityid=5413281 here's one. http://www.boats.com/listing/boat_de...ityid=11631861 here's two. These are also center cockpit boats but should sail pretty well. In fact a friend of mine races against a different Sirena up near Chicago and he says most people don't believe it's a center cockpit boat at all. If he wants a boat to really sail, here's one that could also be cruised http://www.boats.com/listing/boat_de...tityid=9562961 Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

http://www.boats.com/listing/boat_de...tityid=9562961 You'd spend your nights bumping your head on the pipes that hold up the deck. Good looking boat though. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" Trains are a winter sport |
