Baloney. You don't have any friends.

If he is bright enough to ask you for help, I think a Bayliner should suit
him perfectly.

in
the next week or two. I may go along for the trip.

Question:

What areas/marinas/boatyards/DIY boatyards in and around the area might
one
want to wander on by and through if one were looking for a some serious
cruising boats that are sitting neglected on jackstands with torn blue
poly
tarps on them? You know, boats available of 1/10th the asking price?
[grin]

Friend wants something 30 foot minimum to 41 feet maximum, and most likely
32'
to 35'. The standard Hunter/ODay/Catalina/Bendy/Freedom/1,000 other glass
boats are not of interest to him. Taiwanese boats are not of interest to
him.
Ocean passage boats are.

Anyone have ideas? Thanks.

You and your special friend are too late, they stopped the gay marriages
last week. If your friend relies on your advice about boats he should
just buy crewed charters, he is obviously a complete novice. Or really
stupid.

he has 35 years experience owning boats, including sailing solo BVI to NYC.

Or really
stupid.

he retired a senior vice president at a major, international company.

I know a bit more about engines than he does.
