That meant we probably needed a 35’ or larger boat. It was important for Tye to be able to stand upright in the cabin. Size: It might sound funny but the reason we landed on a 40’ boat was the head room.
We knew we weren’t going to be crossing the Atlantic.
Function: Our primary needs for the boat was island hopping and coastal cruising. and potential expenses on transportation. Budget: We wanted to stay under or around $50,000 knowing we’d put 10-20% more into upgrades. It had to have good bones - we knew we could add the bells and whistles.

He has a knack for buying and selling pretty much anything, whether it’s a Felipe Castaneda statue, hospital beds, or a sailboat you better believe he’s done his research and will find the best deal and most likely make a profit.

I have to give all the credit to Tye here. 
Purchasing a sailboat can be a daunting task.
