My favorite is number 2, "Balboa" (scroll down the page a bit)



Assuming I could afford the initial fuel fillup, it should last the

rest of my boating days.

That is a nice boat. 2000 hp deutz single. I liked how it was called N "Expeditionary" yacht.



I did some more research on it. It was originally a heavy duty fishing
trawler. The current owners started a conversion process in 2010 with
the intent to turn it into a luxury live-a-board yacht.

They removed all the fishing well tanks, the DC generators, winches and
all fishing related gear to make space for 6 additional cabins. I think
that's where they stopped and decided to sell it. I found a listing
where it is being offered for $345K.

Figure about $40K to 50K everytime you fill it up with diesel, and
another $50K to 100K+/year for maintenance/insurance. Given the fact
that there must be *serious* unresolved issues to bring it on the
market at that price, they should probably pay someone to take it off
their hands. Better to get an old Hatteras or Bertram in the 50 to 60
ft range if you want a real bargain that you can actually use.
