Looks like a fun party boat. Wish I knew enough/anything about boats to adequately compliment it but it seems like a good time. Could you convert that dinette area into a bed and overnight it at sea?

Yes the front sitting area converts to huge sleeping area - The previous owner had a custom "V" shaped pillow mattress cover made and it is really nice. Boat has an A/C heat pump so it remains comfy in all weather.
I do a lot of crabbing during the summer up here in Seattle so the huge rear cockpit and built in storage compartments make it nice.

Cool boat!
I presume a far bigger hole to throw money into than a most 911's...

yeah they can be - whats miserable is the monthly moorage. $320/mo - bill is sent every 2 mos so it stings getting that $640 bill during the 5 winter months when the boat mostly sits.
Have to haul boat and paint bottom and change zincs in may - thats another $2000 and done every 2 yrs
Other than that the engine is very low hours and beauty of diesel is reliability and very little issues.

This was my uber weekend boat for three or four years. It was a great workout to inflate it quickly with a manual pump.
I am now looking at Reinell 200 or 220 boats in yellow, but I am apprehensive about having it parked at the lake all the time. And I feel that once I buy it, I am going to be always guilty not using it. So lake time will become pretty much mandatory every weekend.

Kalash's rubber dinghy - I'm guessing a stern thruster?

I don't know what that means ^^ But it had a 3.5 HP short shaft Nissan 2-stroke outboard, it is in the picture.
