Bay Area Crash Pad (yacht)
1987 42Ft Californian 42 Aft Hardtop Beautiful Vessel and Turnkey
This is my mothers boat for sale not sure if this is the correct forum but thought I would post.
ps it has never been used as a crash pad just thought it was a good idea.

Do you have Raycore air conditioning? All it takes is one of those water exchange lines to break from extended use and your bilge pumps will be beyond capacity in no time.
What happens when you have a seacock fail? Will your tenants know how to identify which seacock failed and how to turn it off? What systems will be affected if you close that seacock and how will they be damaged if you don't deactivate them?
Living on a boat requires a different code of conduct and you don't want people without that experience living aboard—they'll hurt the boat and do more to harm the value than you'll be able to collect.

Yeah, you are gonna need a seasoned sailor to occupy that boat, probably someone like flybywire.

Fun thread, but the ad for the rental boat has been removed from Craigslist.
