What this 40-year-old divorcee did after inheriting a 1970s yacht

A 40-year-old newly divorced man, “Dylan,” received a 1970s Trojan motor yacht after inheriting it from “Uncle Eddie,” who renovated the vessel’s interior himself. The entrepreneur, working remotely, said the yacht would cost about $500,000 today with similar specifications. After getting proof of ownership from Eddie’s executor and transferring the license online, Dylan focused on insurance, explaining that coverage requires a marine survey, which in turn requires hiring a marine surveyor. He had prior boating experience, and estimated $4,700 to arrange professional hauling because larger boats typically don’t come with their own trailers. The first outing was difficult to handle and one engine failed despite a $1,000-plus inspection. Overall, he estimated spending around $8,000 on mechanical updates, later moving aboard full-time.
