NIce place.Seems like a great price. Any idea on why it would take so long to sell. Even in my area of NC I could see that selling in a day or two in charlotte area for that price.

That Steigercraft looks pretty cool. If it was me, I'd go with the "Steiger Seat with Pedestal (Port)" option, which I assume replaces that fore-and-aft bench. I find benches like that are pretty uncomfortable while the boat is running, unless there is zero chop, or you want to stretch out & sleep.
The boat I fish on these days has a centerline helm seat and benches port & starboard. I pretty much just sleep on the way in and out because it's really tiring to get jerked side to side every time we hit a wave.

Yeah I'll do two captains chairs, no bench. All boats are compromises but that one checks a lot of boxes for me. It'll make a great tender when I get the real boat later.
nah

Whites a lot easier to maintain.
The darker colors will really show the oxidation. Do you leave it in the water?

Maybe there's a curse and everybody who lives there turns into a shitty driver.
Yeah that looks like a new roof, there's somethng weird going on if nobody wants to talk about it. I'd want to get up in the attic/crawl space and look for signs of water or fire damage.

Your shirt, it is perfect.
On that boat, you can get out of the wind so things can get and stay lit, which you as a safety inspector know is important.

Why the single engine? I always assumed two was better for redundancy far from shore? I'm admittedly a boat jong.

Well I'm not into going way offshore, I pretty much always stay in sight of land or at least not far out of sight of it. There's lots of guys who'll go 100 or more miles out but that ain't me. There's towing services all up and down the coast and I have towing insurance, a couple of vhf radios, and I'm generally in cell range, so I can get dragged in pretty easily if need be.
Two engines adds a margin of safety if you're offshore when help might be far away or unavailable for sure, but it also adds substantial weight, and definitely adds cost (2 x 150 hp engines costs more than 1 x 300, not double but more) and maintenance is doubled with 2, with 2 oil changes and everything else.
Plus modern outboards are super reliable anyways. So, for my use, 1 makes more sense in my mind.

My neighbor bought a used little boat and he's not a boater. Takes from Hampton to Portsmouth and on the way back runs out of gas because the fuel gauge is broken. No paddle which I guess makes sense. No tow insurance and sea tow is $$$. So they start hand paddling and get within a hundred or so yards of the beach. He jumps off and swims in to meet his wife with the SUP and gas can. Back out and on their merry way. Full-on kook. Beautiful.

And all else equal, singles tend to be a little faster while burning slightly less fuel.

My uncle in law is an instructor and I asked him this same question.
He said a single engine can be safer because you can glide it possibly if needed.
Twin engine you need more expertise to balance the plane if a single engine fails. You are constantly fighting a roll with all the power in one side.

Sure, and I don’t dispute that there are situations when an agent is necessary. My problem with your profession is that it has focused almost solely on making it as difficult as possible to transact on real estate without an agent as possible, rather than on adding value. I do see the day coming soon when tech finally eliminates most of the traditional listings. As a consumer that day can’t come soon enough IMO.

Some of what you say is correct. Some is not. There will always be room for an expert in a real estate transaction. I've done hundreds of them. Most people only do it once or twice. I now how to do it and solve the inevitable issues that arise quickly and efficiently (which equals $) and they don't. It's a matter of experience. Common misconception is that we "find" properties and buyers for our listings. Truth is we solve the problems, and guide people through the ones that they don't know how to solve. That's what we get paid for. Any buffoon can input a listing. Only certain buffoons can navigate the issues that invariably arise.
