Yeah, we're in the process of accepting (likely) a Cal 39. The guy
did some good cruising in it, but let it sit (fortunately fresh water)
for several years and used it as a storage for his junk. We had
it surveyed (insurance requires it) and the surveyor gave an
estimate of probably $15K less than its value, because he couldn't
get to a lot the boat interior. It's mostly junk, so I think we're going
to get a crew over there this week to toss all his crap.

to save it... at least I knew what I was getting into.

In a weak moment, I was considering buying a "project" Boston Whaler
Harpoon a few weeks ago. I have been wanting a sailing dinghy to sail
in the evenings at a lake closer to home as my boat is an hour and a
half (one way) for me. What a wreck. It was half full of water,
missing the rudder/tiller and had a nest of ducks living in it, eggs
and all. The guy wasn't exactly giving it away, either:)

With a Catalina 27 going for $4500, your POS is worth about $35.

They must pay for their sins.

They must become contrite or they will burn forever in the flames of Satan.
