    Where to move in Florida?

    5 years gives you time to search.......  75 feet clearance is something to consider.....  I believe the max height on the Okeechobee  waterway is 49 feet and 65 ft on the ICW.....so travel from coast to coast will be mast down or around the bottom....and the ICW may have sections you can't...

    Navico bought for $1B by Brunswick Corp

    Starting Research for Boat Choice

    So the hull shape is  defined by attaching the precut panels? No frames?    The panels are connected with zip ties? wires? or something else?  are the wire holes pre-drilled or is that the builders job? Does the final product get a covering of fiberglass cloth? It looks like you previously...

    Which boat for me?

    For me the cost of anything is the buy price, plus interest (if any), minus the sell price. If one considers they will buy a boat and keep it forever than, yes, you are correct------anything over $4k is off the table. On the other hand, some boats may be in a growing class, from a  builder...
