Good advice from both Chuck and Harry.

I just gave away a boat of similar vintage and issues. It was costing
more to maintain than it was worth, in other words, a "negative value"
boat. It still had some good features and good equipment but on
balance it was a junker.

I told all of that to the guy I gave it to but he still wanted it
anyway. Go figure. :-)
