Our thoughts about Quest…

A Bavaria 46 had not made our original boat investigation list but our broker thought it was worth taking a look at (and the seller was motivated to sell).  Quest was clean,  beautifully maintained and offered a TON of storage space, but there were a couple detractors for us.  Quest was 10 feet longer than what we had originally started looking at, which would eventually lead to more money in both maintenance and dockage fees.  We also felt somewhat deterred by the amount of room the dual wheel took up in the cockpit which significantly limited the accessibility and open space.  For us, Quest boiled down to the decision that she was just more boat than we actually need at this point.

Our thoughts about Second Wind…

The Leopard 38 was a boat that we had been wanting to check out, in person, since we started looking at boats.  We were intrigued by the amount of space that the huge cockpit would provide for above-deck activities.  We were not at all disappointed by the HUGE cockpit after boarding Second Wind.  But, the condition of the boat was a bit more work than we had anticipated getting involved with at this point.  Some other drawbacks for us were the height of the beds (which were about shoulder high and took multiple steps to get up into) and the inconvenient access to engine.  All of the cabins were significantly smaller than other boats we had looked at and the we didn’t feel like the boat offered the same amount of storage space that other boats of the same size did.  Overall, we are happy that we were able to board Second Wind and cross the Leopard 38 off our list of prospective future boats.

Our thoughts about Off Watch…

Well within our budget, the Moody 42 Off Watch was another boat that had never crossed our radar but was recommended by our broker.  Despite some repairs that needed taken care of, Off Watch was a really fantastic boat!  Sturdy, well-built and capable, Off Watch offered an incredible, flat, open aft deck and ample engine access from a few different angles.  Off Watch had character and Josh really, really likes this one.  The big drawbacks for Alexis were the pretty steep ladder disguised as steps in the companionway and the amount of work that this specific boat would require.  We spent hours discussing the strengths and weaknesses of Off Watch compared to other boats that we had checked out.  With only a handful of Moody’s for sale in the United States, it would be a struggle, though not impossible, to find another Moody that would meet our needs but require less work.

1999 Island Packet 380

Boat Name: Adagio

$199,000

OVERVIEW: Modern Cruiser – Very CLEAN (OMG!!) – Nicely Equipped with both HEATPUMP & GENERATOR – READY TO GO WHEREVER YOU POINT HER – A REAL MUST SEE!!!! Adagio is well equipped.  All maintenance has been done on schedule and documented.  Waste Tank and all Waste Hoses were replaced in 2008.  “Adagio” is immaculate.  The Island Packet 380, built from 2000 to 2004, replaced the 37 and is Island Packet’s largest yacht with a single head.  Consequently, the 380 has plenty of elbow and storage room and an especially large galley and forward head with a luxurious shower stall.  Every bit of space is utilized.  She has an island berth in the forward cabin and the large, athwartship aft cabin has a clever pull out sink in lieu of a second, space gobbling head.  The 380 is bigger than the current 370 having a foot longer waterline, and 85 sq ft more sail area than the older 37 and 71′ more than the 370.  

Our thoughts about Adagio…

Adagio was absolutely beautiful.  And IMMACULATELY cleaned and maintained.  In fact, Adagio was leaps and bounds ahead of any of the other boats when it came to being clean and in order.  But, Adagio was also priced significantly over our budget.  Boarding Adagio was a great lesson in the craftsmanship of Island Packets, as it appeared as though no expense was spared in the construction.  Unfortunately, we had our eye on coming in at or below our budget, so Adagio was a no-go for us.  But, man, was she BEAUTIFUL!
