Hey I'm doing some work for a Canadian company, they are in Lachine.
Somewhere N of Detroit. If I can turn them into a bigger account I will
be flying up.

How far is it from the water

Totally flush decks?

How long has it been for sell?

Is it still bare steel?

How far is it from the water - about 100 yards... but to launch a little
further.. would require a crane and flatbed.

Totally flush decks? - Yup

How long has it been for sell? - about 3 years... not listed just a "For
Sale" sign

Is it still bare steel? - some.. decks are painted and hull to the water
line


Not the best workmanship but not bad. Maybe I'm picky. 2 containers of gear
are stored beside it. Engine is new and never seen the water.

Perfect, just weld it to the hull. Thats what I've
saw done on a big scalop boat at the marina.

Not trolling Joe. This is what this father and
son claim they did to mount their motor in their boat.

I didn't not climb in to check it, but I was quite amazed
and I don't think they were lying to me.

Have you been in the containers?
50 foot is a nice size but fast approaching the need for crew.
It would be nicer if it had a full keel, not as critical since it is
steel.

When I bought RedCloud I wish it was a bare hull, took quite a while
to rip everything out and start over. Also it gives you the freedom to
design things to fit your needs.

First thing to do is blast the interior, make sure it has proper
limber holes and every drop of water drains with ease to the lowest
point of each WT compartment.

Then coat the steel with a nice 2 part epoxy.

I will be happy to walk you thru the next 100+ key steps .... if you
buy the boat.
