Now at $7,100 - doesn't look like there's much left of it, under the "thin
fiberglass sheet" - especially since the photos are date-stamped 3 years
ago.
Very sad, hope the buyer can make something of it.

$80k asking price for a restored one:

Replacement parts are very expensive:

Considering the time and expense needed to restore this boat only someone
who absolutely loves doing the work would consider taking this skeleton of a
boat on.
