Finally Cheap Enough to Be Dangerous - This 42-Foot Jeanneau DS
Diesel Repower From Scratch: Part 1 - https://www.practical-sailor.com/systems-propulsion/diesel-repower-from-scratch-pt-1/

With twin helms, in-mast furling, a bright deck saloon, huge aft cabin, and serious liveaboard cruising comfort, the Jeanneau 42DS looks like a dream Caribbean cruiser. But as these boats turn 20 years old, is this affordable monohull a bargain, or cheap enough to be dangerous?
