Where do I belong?

[swift2]

This is my first posting and first boat purchase I am a slightly lost so could yee friendly folk help by pointing me in the right direction.
Firstly the potential boat.

Pre 1970 with wooden hull
Will be pure motor or a motor sailor with the prominence on motor

Intend to live on her permanently and continually cruise the Med.

So not to offend the purists among you the question is where do I live?
Classic or Motor or Liveaboard.

Sorry I cannot be more explicit on the potential boat. I have two favourites and the deal has not yet been done

All 3? And this one when it goes wrong maybe.

Welcome. I think all three too as and when you feel the need to contribute and/or ask for help.

Having asked the question a while ago:

For cruising other than UK, I find Liveaboard generally gets me the answers I am looking for

Sorry, we don't accept boats earlier than 1971 in the motor boat section, the old boaters don't like stuff with infernal combustion engines, and raggies want a larger sail area to cubic centimetre ratio than your boat.

Are you moored on the Thames? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just to confuse things I will give you a wooden boat answer here if you havent considered it yet for med avoid lots of topsides varnish, ther sun burns it off pronto, go for oil or paint. Also plywood or teak EPOXIED to plywood for decks as traditional decks have the same problem with drying out.

Thanks for your welcomes and replies
It now appears that apart from being a “Jack of all trades” I will be a “boat of all forums”
