You should be able to get that for between 30-35K I sold my 03 268 for 39, 4 years ago. Make and offer

I'm just kidding, I'm not at a point where I could buy that. I need a house. Who knows maybe in 4 months it will still be forsale.

Depending on what you buy ric, and what condition its in, buying a house will cure you of any desire to spend more money on a boat. If you have not owned one yet, home ownership has exciting new opportunities for massive money spending. That's why I kept the old one....boat that is...I like having a paid off mortgage....

I've owned a house before. I'm just aiming for a townhouse in the community I live in now, I like the lake life. I've done kitchens up quite nice with buying pre-made cabinets/countertops at Lowes, "open box" SS appliances at the local discount places, fake wood laminate flooring, and shopping at Ikea. Doesn't cost much at all to have something magazine quality. $500 at Old Time Pottery can decorate the whole house.

That's insane. It's what Rick dreams about at night. Fully optioned 268 with an 8.1 liter engine. One day I hope I find another when I'm ready.

Hey I've got a clean 278 with and 8.1 and every option plus a bunch of extras. If I wasn't so hooked on towing her to see her sisters on Lake Michigan I'd consider selling. You'd need a spot more than $40K for my '08 though.

I've got a scale ticket at home from when I weighed mine. I think around 8500lbs. My 04 Durango would pull it around on flat land just fine, the Ram 2500 would pull it with no issue.

Saw that one, from the ad:

However, again due to lack of use, maybe even neglect, she carries a number of cosmetic issues as well. Buyers are strongly encouraged to check with their POP associate for a more complete and up-to-date list of needed work.

Anytime ya gotta "call" for a list of problems, ANNND there is no pics of the engine/bay. Run away.

If you're asking me my boat came it at 9,680 with about half tank of fuel. I pulled it to Petoskey which is a little over 500 miles and I had it full of fuel and food so I was over 10,000 for sure.

Forget the house... you live in Florida! Go for a bit larger a boat and live on that!

A 30-35ft sedan bridge style boat would make a great liveaboard and cruiser.

Absolutely. Keep a small affordable apartment for "permanent residence" and mailing address, and those days when you just need to get off the boat, then enjoy the rest of your time as a live-aboard.

Not sure if that fits into the kind of lifestyle you are looking for (hard fit for marriage,kids, etc..) but it could easily work.

I'm 31, divorced, no kids, and single. I think I'm a good fit LOL

I lived on my boat for two months the first summer I had it. Loved every minute!
If I lived in FL I would definitely consider it. Although I did find out that a lot of marinas don't allow live aboards.
