Now that Thirsty Whale is on to new adventures with her new owners, it's time for me to kick things in to gear and move from internet shopping for boats, to window shopping and going to see boats in person. Enjoy!
Yeah, I'd really only consider a boat like the Tiara as a second boat to take to shows and run around locally for a few hours. It's super cool how original it is...
You flashed the picture of the 5.0 mercruiser. I have that in my boat. My boat dry is about #4200 and add in people, fuel and gear. Great engine but I think it's a bit small for all that weight, IMO.
As I was watching you look at the Tiara I thought "second boat" for you and then you said it! Seems like too much of a downgrade in length and amenities from Thirsty Whale. I'm sure as you see the boats the choice will become more clear.
