We are thinking of purchasing a used 380 Sundancer. We plan on taking the boat to the keys for a couple of months during the winter and then embarking on the Great Loop in April of 2015 with that boat.
We can get a gas boat for a lot less than diesel. A broker says that for our planned usage the diesel is the only way to go. Advice? If Gas how many hours are TOO many on the engine?
Also what are our options for storing a dinghy on the boat? If we spend a couple of months next winter in Boot Key Harbor (Marathon) a dinghy seems to be a necessity.
If all of these questions have been addressed ad nauseum, please point me in that directions, since I am a newbie here.
Thanks,
