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.


I've noticed sailors can be lumped into two different
groups.
1) those who sail and enjoy sailing and work on their
boats sparingly
2) those who claim to enjoy sailing but spend all their
time working on a boat and never sailing it.

Capt. Rob is an example of the first and Haggie the
second.

Ya got that right. However, we did get a lot more boat than
we ever could have afforded at the time or even now. I
still wouldn't buy the Katrina boat unless the guy is in
love with projects and has tons of dough and no damn kids.
