float64 read: gorgeous, and at €444k all-in before options it’s in Overblue-rejection territory (too expensive) for a project with a ~€150k anchor point — unless the used market says otherwise. Kept as research rather than rejected for one reason: it defines what the top of the houseboat range buys, which makes it the reference point for judging used listings. Still CE-D, still 13.5 m → Patrão Local.
