Marinas often auction off boats that haven't paid their moorage. The
notification of such auctions are generally 1 day notices in the ads of
the
local rag, therefore are not well attended. Boats are known to sell for $1
and some aren't even worth that. However, sometimes there are some decent
deals.
Be advised, you need to be a tinkerer and jack of all trades and like
restoring things.

BTW, there will be a 35' fiberglass being auctioned here in Port Angeles
in the next month or two. Probably go for a dollar, as it needs EXTENSIVE
work. Including an engine.

Hey everyone, just thinking and wanting some opinions/advice. Has anyone
every bought a boat that needed some major repairs, like patching a bad

spot
in the fiberglass or remodeling the inside? Im just wondering how much

work
it would be to purchase a fix up boat and make it seaworthy ? Would it be
better to wait and get a boat that is in good condition and doesnt need

any
repairs? Or can a person save $$ by doing it over a period of time
himself

?

Thanks
Ed
