Maybe because I’m 57 I’m looking for a live aboard world cruising yacht my choice so far is the Amel Super maramu from the 90s and my point is this boat is new and I thing not half the boat, the interior to my opinion looks cheap like ikea and not homely. Have I missed the point ? It’s a cruising channel no ? So these boats are for cruising . For instance how much water can it carry ? How much fuel? Where’s the water maker ? And solar panels. Dies it have a generator? Honestly you either didn’t ask or it doesn’t have these things. The helms look exposed too . How’s the galley choppy weather?
Please correct me because I’m not seeing anything good about this boat
