What would you tell this guy?

Insure and scuttle. Or just scuttle.

I have never had a marina around here (N. FL) ask about insurance.
The story actually got worse when I looked at the mainsail. HOWEVER,
I believe she will never leave the dock again. From what he told me,
he (the new owner) is more interested in partying at the marina than
sailing. When he looks into any of the costs, he will give it up. He
could recoup his costs by selling the "working" diesel

He could give it to the Boy Scouts and take a tax writeoff. A scout
troop could provide the labor for a minimum fixup. They could use it
as a daysailor.
