Hey Y'all,
I want to see if you guys can give me some insight. A couple of years ago I bought a Hunter 170, and after a pressure wash, a couple patches, and a new coat of paint, she was as good as new.
This was two years ago, and the boat is still in great shape. Later this summer I was thinking about taking the boat down to the Florida Keys for a few days and getting an Airbnb. We would sail to a few popular snorkeling spots as well as do some exploring on our own. I have gotten pretty confident in our abilities, and I think we can do it.
If you are not familiar with the 170, here is a link to give you a better idea of what I am working with. I have a 2001 Tohatsu 3.5hp outboard to go with it.
Do you guys who are more experienced have any suggestions on where to go, what we need to bring, or if this is overall a bad idea? Any insight y'all may have would be appreciated. We are all college students for context, so keep in mind we are on a pretty tight budget.
Thanks for any replies!
