Default FS: Ferro cement hull with provenance in San Francisco, CA

I agree 100%. I have seen a few ferro boats which would serve humanity
best as artificial reefs. There is no doubt ferro hulls are best left
to the history books.

The one we are listing ranks at the top of them. In terms of constant
maintenance and upgrading by the original(and still) owner for all
these years, I must say, it is capable of cruising for several years
to come. My only complaint, being 6'2", is the head room has been
custom fit at around 5'8". The subset of buyers is small, to say the
least.

When an owner has so much respect for his boat, who am I to say it's
worth any less? I'm just the messenger.

While the use of concrete as boatbuilding medium is quite valid, the
reality is, that with few exceptions, they are usually pretty ugly,
difficult to insure, and impossible to get finianced by conventional
lenders. Most of the time, they look better as sidewalks...
