I am under contract to buy a Hatteras 42 LRC trawler and the survey went pretty well so I will buy her. The thread title just makes it feel a bit more down to earth as there is a lot of work involved because the boat has had very little use for some time. The bikes will be aboard for our travels. I have not been able to get far enough away from the boat due to its location to take overall pictures of the boat yet. The boat is currently 2,200 miles by water away from where we want the boat. I have a couple pictures of the boat during the survey.
Survey says, buy the 14.5' X 42.5' mobile home.

It holds 700 usable gallons of diesel. 2 gph at 6 knots 3 gph at 7 knots 6.6 gph at 8 knots 14 gph at 9.6 knots. That all seems high, but you have to look at your fuel bill on an annualized basis instead of per hour or per mile.
Its a displacement hull, You can't drive it much above 7.8 knots without severe increases in full consumption and 9.6 knots is max

Are you going to live on it for weeks, months at a time?
the intention is that this is a second home. We completed the purchase, now the work to get it ready begins but the boat is 1,000 miles from home. The boat is not very compatible with E bikes. That is another problem to solve.
