  PLANS CHANGE....        A lovely couple recently purchased SV Livin' Dream, and spared no expense outfitting her as their long-term live-aboard.      Since just the start of 2024, they have added over $35,000 of new systems and upgrades (WITH RECEIPTS): a MASSIVE 1200AH Renogy lithium ion battery bank, 2250W of Renogy rigid solar panels, 3 Renogy charge controllers, 2 Victron 3000 watt multiplus charger/inverters, Victron and Renogy battery/system monitors, a new Atlantic Towers solar arch/dinghy davit, Raymarine Axiom 9 chartplotter, Raymarine Autopilot, LG washer/dryer, 47GPH Rainman watermaker, an induction cooktop, a convection oven, and much, much more.      A new business opportunity abroad forces the sale.  Their loss is your gain -- but act fast.... she won't last.

Owner's Summary

While SV Livin' the Dream is not perfect (yet !), she sails and motors beautifully and is a fantastic live-aboard platform with all the amenities of home.  Some of the hatches and portlights could be replaced, and there is evidence of cosmetic damage from previous leaks -- but nothing out of character for a 44 year old vessel.  We were right in the middle of our refit-refurbisment project when our plans suddenly changed.
