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.- Hide quoted text -

This guy is going to pay for a shop to do it all.

He's a moron. It'll end up costing him more than a brand new one. What's
in people's heads these days? Sawdust?
