[Liveaboard] Boat shopping woes

Hi all, I haven't posted here for a long time, and we're boatless. We sold our Cheoy Lee Clipper last summer, sold our house last fall and now we're moseying around Florida shopping for a liveaboard bluewater catamaran. Who knew there would be so little on the market? We just assumed we'd find
