Transport back & forth from the lake to the ocean will also be a HUGE expense, if its doable at all.

Thanks for the benefit of the doubt!

This purchase would be for the lake only. There would be no back and forth transport. Also in the process of purchasing a separate ocean going yacht.

This really is only serving our needs in terms of comfort and size vs owning a house on the lake. The tenders would serve our needs for docking and going ashore.

Basically I'm trying to put the largest boat in the water possible that can be taken out and stored for the winter. It doesn't have to be "that reasonable." It just needs to be possible.

If it can't be done, I'm not trying to move mountains (or bridges) to make it happen. 60' is the smallest I could think of going, and I'm not overly anxious to try to have a family of 5 live in such cramped quarters for several weeks at a time.

Thanks so much for the quick responses! Really appreciate any insight!
