We made a decision in early January to sell the Florida Condo and buy a bigger boat. The decision had bounced around a while but came to a head at the beginning of the new year. Florida real estate being what it is, we sold within 24 hours of listing. The new boat hunt was on!
We had long talked about what makes for a really good bugger boat and we had settled on a Back Cove 37 as the boat to beat. It met almost all our boat criteria. Unexpectedly one came to market in January. We thought we would have more time.
With the boat market being what it is we placed her under contract sight unseen (except the photos on Yacht World). We made the trip up to see her this weekend and spent lots of time on her, looking at details online and doing additional boat component research. Survey is next!
