Default Just plain crazy? Katrina boat

Some fellow just had a lord nelson 41 trucked in that was tore up bad
during Katrina. Has a big hole in the bottom (sloppy patch) crushed
deck to cabin top joint at the rail about 4 ft. Was completly under in
the muddy salt water, engine and wiring shot. All the outstanding wood
work below is intact, but now has a mud induced gray tone to it..very
un-even. No mast...no rigging, hatches gone,

Will cost 125K+ to fix up.....

Why not just buy a good one for 25K more?

He bought it salvaged. Bet he paid too much.

Some people are crazy. But...it is a very nice boat..fixed up that
is...even if it's fiberglass.

He will learn the hard way unless he enjoys projects. Some people love
projects more than sailing it seems.
