Marina Queen or Lovely Retreat on the water

[Mr Googler]

It’s not always choice. I purchased this from the estate of a lovely man who had had a long term illness.

Boats like that clean up very easily

off topic slightly - but what did you use to get the exterior cleaned up in the end?

Pressure washer, hand scrub, oxyalic acid, 4 passes with reducing cut compounds, polish then a wax

Nobody should feel obliged to take their boat out on every visit. If you like staying on board in the marina then there's nothing wrong with that.

But boats (engines, etc) do suffer from lack of use so I think the occasional run is really beneficial.

And wives should be strongly discouraged from filling the boat with ornaments, tables lamps, or anything else that makes prepping the boat for going to see a chore.

Very true

Mind you I read on here and was told by someone else that running your engine for a short while (say 5 Mins) each time you visit your boat is a very bad idea

 

[penfold]

The engines need to be worked so they can reach operating temp and eliminate moisture from the innards, that's not possible with any amount of idling.

Or get the best of both worlds, the bigger boat with all the home comforts including ornaments and table lamps, easily stowed when necessary although granted it takes 1/2 hour, and a smaller jump in and go potter around vessel, adhering to the smaller the boat the more fun you have.

I see the broker is not local to the boat. That could explain the use of brochure shots.
