We just returned from the Bahamas on a month long trip with this boat. I towed the boat from Michigan to the Florida Keys over 1500 miles each way with an F250 diesel. The trailer has all new tires and 6 wheel disk brakes. We launched the boat in Little Torch Key then stopped at Key Largo, Bimini, Chub Cay, Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, Nassau, Bimini again, then straight to Little Torch Key again.....no problem. We slept 2 people for approximately 14 nights at different docks. We crossed the Grand Bahama Banks, the gulfstream, the straights of Florida, and the Tongue of the Ocean. The boat ran great with only topping off the fluids and changing the fuel filters. The diesels are very reliable and get about 1 mile to the gallon. The Jet drives allow you to go in shallow water easily......I keep the boat in fresh water, but we do salt water occasionally.The good:Very cool, sexy, classy boat with Italian style, with new paint and a rocking sound system. Yanmar Turbo Diesels, with Hamilton Jet Drives ($100,000 replacement cost) new interior, new top, nice 2 piece canvas, new air conditioner...almost everything is new....runs great...could go another 900 miles right now. New raymarine Axiom 9, New HumminBird Helix 7, new a/c, diesel generator works good, fresh or salt water. We saw Mark Zuckerberg's Tender in the Bahamas and it wasn't as cool as this!I can help with delivery if necessary...and I can stay with the new owner for a couple days while they are becoming familiar with the boat.The bad:The gages are not working, I disconnected the power windows (you don't need them), you have to jiggle the power bimini top a little to get it up and down. There are dozens of cool amenitieson the boat that all need a little work...none of it is necessarybut most of it requires attention...power windows, power windlass jams up sometimes, ice maker doesn't work, bow thruster key sheared, stern thruster needs a motor, underwater lights need replacing, electric toilet locked up, you need to know 12 volt systems to own this boat....or know someone....I reduced the price $20,000.00 to compensate for this. None of it effects the operation or fun on the boat. It runs, drives, and works as it should. I would like to stay in touch with the new owner.....You can use this boat on inland lakes, great lakes, or the ocean. It does a lot of things well but could use an owner that has time to address these issues or has staff to address these issues.2004 Cabriolet Royale 34Fiberglass boat with tons of teak...twin Yanmar 315hp Turbo Diesels with Hamilton Jet Drives.
