Show Notes

In this episode, I dive into the realities of owning a boat — the good, the bad, and the expensive. I talk about buying back my old CT, what went wrong the first time, and whether it was actually a smart move financially. I also cover the latest upgrades onboard, including my full solar and lithium setup, and whether it’s powerful enough to run the A/C while at anchor.


Plus, I share my thoughts on gas vs. electric engines, insurance headaches, bow thruster repairs, and how I’m prepping for my next catamaran. If you’re thinking about owning a cruising boat — or just want to hear the behind-the-scenes of my boating journey — this one’s for you.
