I hope you did your homework and know how much it costs to prepare any boat for off shore. For 3. 2 to 3. 6 boat new or used a normal figure is between 5. Why we selected this particular boat Very strong body because hull is hand laid with solid fiberglass using C Flex technology it is a high strength 6. Such hulls are getting close to steel construction in strength without the weight and corrosion problems. Semi full keel encapsulated into solid fiberglass as part of the hull so it will not fall out in the middle of the ocean creating several 6 holes in your hull. This gives you performance of a fin keel and strength of a full keel hull Heavy displacement gives you cruising comfort and enough enclosed storage space for several weeks long non stop passage for 2 3 people Rudder supported and protected by a massive skeg Heavy duty rudder system with wheel to chain to rack pinion connection not flimsy cablesWhat was done to prepare this boat for cruising.
