You just won the lottery and plan to purchase (new or used) a 50 some foot
boat. Money is no object.

First of all, what style would you choose.......cruiser, motor yacht, pilot
house, trawler, convertible, tug, catamaran, sailboat or other?

Now what specific make and model?

I was at a marina last year to buy some charts, and one of those boats
stopped me dead in my tracks. Salesman came out to ask if I wanted to see
the inside. I told him there was no way in hell I could afford it. He said
"So?" :-) Smart salesman!

I'd go for a bigger sailboat, hire a crew, and spend the next 3+ years
sailing the Mediterranean. I'd love to get back to the Greek Isles.

A "50 some foot" boat?

To presume to staying in that range, a Hallett 540-T would be a fun
toy. But a Hinckley T55 would be a classy ride. But who wouldn't like
the lines of a Riva 52 Rivale...

Wow...too many choices right now.

There's one for sale at my marina. Been drooling over it for a couple of
months. 50 footer, with stabilizers. Awesome.
