It looks big in the photos, probably bigger in person,  a daunting project.   Certainly has some nice features for river camping trips, and I assume it would replace the Bal Harbor?  That is a tough call, maybe just prep for winter, finish the 16 v-8 and revisit in the spring.  Didn't sound like you had a lot tied up in it yet, so it could wait.  Any chance of just a quick cover up and drivetrain and splash it?  Save the full-on resto for after you actually fall in love with it?  My opinion might change if I saw it in person I suppose.  I know I couldn't take it on, having trouble with all my projects as it is.

I guess the pictures of the new one looks similar, but it’s a 1990 Ventura 249

Yes, sadly it will replace the Bal Harbor. Anyone shopping for one of those?

We bought it. Guy is letting us make payments and he’s storing in the meantime.  It’s in Ohio. (Uff dah). Road trip some time in the future
(Pretty sure it’s not a yacht. And yes we still like boat people. Silly goose. Lol)

VERY cool boat / yacht !

What size boat is considered a yacht?
To be termed a yacht, as opposed to a boat, such a pleasure vessel is likely to be at least 33 feet (10 m) in length and may have been judged to have good aesthetic qualities. The Commercial Yacht Code classifies yachts 79 ft (24 m) and over as large.

I always thought it was the beam (11 feet or more) that made it a yacht .. guess not ..
I had a 25 ft. Four Winns that the cap. plate listed for persons and gear "Yacht" ?

There must be a hidden "Who has the biggest boat" contest going on here.  Hopefully you'll remember us little boat people :-)

Looks great, hope the rest of the journey is uneventful.
