Sailing Boat Dealer

Howdy ya'll, please can someone tell me where I can find good boat dealers in Florida? My fiancee and I are working to buy a Morgan Out Island 41 Sail Boat and go to the Keys in 12 months. Any info on the boat would be great too.

Thank you!

I do not know about dealers in Florida .... Soundings Magazine classifieds.but try BOY do I know the length 41!

They were the first mass product sold by mass of boats for the charter industry here in the Caribbean and sailed or returned a bunch of them. So, here are some things to look for:

There were two models of the sloops and boats rigged ketch ...... the latter had a platform application twin and about 8 feet added to the principal and five at the mizzen, because they have been, to put it politely in pigs WAY under sail and rigging. So please get the "extended" version rigged

Almost all the IO was in charter service at some point in his life. Now, OI have a reputation as Checker cabs in the world ... not too pretty, but damn near ..... indestructible is basically true. They are quite heavy and must be ... because a vessel can navigate the Charter of 20-35 weeks per year, seven days a week, they were operating in the Caribbean is hard work and lots of wind power on a boat. Thus, your Morgan has a lot of hours on the clock and must be examined carefully.

Because of the veil has been indifferent to the engine run a lot, especially motor sailing into the wind so there is one thing to watch .... models have something original 40 HP 4-107s in them which was totally inadequate ..... 50-90 HP is what you need to drive the hull.

The bridges in some boats became so spongy look for weaknesses.

The chain plates have been known to develop crevice corrosion and cracks and fail, so if the ship has its origin in the plates, you must shoot at least two and look closely.

Look for signs of the form of partition-lamination of the hull once again be mounted drive and put the wet side.

Now, on the positive side they have an ocean of room below and are living on board .. and with a good system of cockpit canopy can be used 24 / 7 room, Lanai.

They have space to carry lots of water toys and stuff on the bridge that crosses a large scale is an ideal place for the boat and davits.

Make sure there is a kind of heating system .. it is in the 40s in the Keys in winter

I suggest you find a reputable yacht broker to find the boat you are looking for. a broker of good will know that boats may be for sale, which may not be listed in polls and other publications. I've said before, but these guys make money (which is a fee paid by the seller). they can also line a good land for inspections and sea trials woud you buy or sell your home with ar / e agent? Perhaps, but is it always wise? Good luck!
