And how big of a boat can be single handed? I'm fairly certain 43 feet is out of the question.

While diesels are more desirable in a 43 foot boat I actually would prefer the gas power in a 43 Viking. The diesel options were either Detroit 671n's or Cat 3208's. It isn't a fast boat with either of those options and the cost of rebuilding or fixing diesels is $$$$$$. It's a lot cheaper to fix gas engines. It depends on the helmsman. I've seen one guy handle an 80 footer with no problem. |

Another issue is im a big dude. 6'6" and about 240. cant really get comfortable in something much smaller. Have talked to some people about it and they say its all about how quick you can get to the side cleats. I cant tell on that viking how you get to and from the flybridge. EDIT - can catch a hint of steps on the starboad side. that looks very doable. Damn tempting!! |

How long does it take to do the Great Loop in a power boat such as this?

The spring(side) cleats are the key to securing the boat with lines. They keep you from hitting the seawall in front and if necessary you can maneuver the boat with the motors to secure the rest of the lines. |

What he said. It's roughly a 6000 mile trip depending on route and side trips. Leisurely you travel about 140 days, traveling one day every 3 or 4.

There is far more square footage on the floating home than on a boat. Probably three times more. And it's a real home with a real flushing toilet vs a marine head, a real kitchen instead of something that's so cramped it is a pain to use, etc. Having the thing towed to where the bottom work will be done is not a deal breaker, at least not to me. |

At some point in the future though, you will be moving into the manor house. At that point you have a floating guest house. A houseboat that moves however, gives you vacation and weekender mobility.
You could literally have a skank in every port and none of them know where you really live. |

I looked at this one today.
It's incredibly clean and well maintained. Both the previous two owners are local and available to talk about the boat. He's taken this thing on some long trips, to the Bahamas, south Florida, Kentucky, etc. Used 1986 Sea Ranger 40 Sedan, Shalimar, Fl - 32579 - BoatTrader.com Is it overpriced? What would be a reasonable price? |
