Something like this: https://www.yachtsforsalewest.com/buy-a-yacht/detail/260027/1980-nordic-cruising-sailboat-44/ Leaves you $100K to fix stuff. Go now before they close the borders to USAnians. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcjsmith 527 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Buy something for 50, outfit it with another 50. And then Stash the remaining 100k in the bilge so you have some traveling money. The downside is that if you leave the state, might be a while before you could legally set foot in another country for a long time. Or another state for that matter.

Matagi 839 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I doubt a civil war will start in Florida. The range of armoured golf carts is very limited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gouvernail 2,884 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 If you are concerned for your safety, it seems tI me you would be better off buying a chunk of land in the wilderness and building an annoying to penetrate perimeter. Put up a large solar array and create as self sufficient a farm as you can establish. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once a month, he would pump it out and float it, heat gun the engine to get the wax to melt out of the cylinders and go do midnight drug runs when there was no moon. He got busted and the boat is probably still in the bottom waiting for the next job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
