This boat was swamped and sank in Hurricane Marilyn in 1995....
..... The seller has started the
process of rebuilding but has taken on other projects and just wants
out of the deal.


Now, that's a really stellar recommendation.

Oh Wow! Sounds like the boat my surveyor offered to give me for free.
After admiring the beautiful lines and obvious pedigree, I looked a
little closer and said, "I'm not sure it's worth that much." I passed.

I suspect $10k may be required just to get it to float, never mind the
rotted cores and interior that obviously needs to be completely rebuilt
from the keel up.


Replacing all the wiring & electrical equip't would cost more than $10K,
the plumbing probably close to that. This boat (and many many more that
were damaged in hurricanes) is landfill fodder. After sinking, then
sitting for ten years on the back lot, I doubt there's anything left
worth salvaging.

Last fall, a cruising group that my wife & I belong to had a dinner talk
by a marine insurance underwriter who is also a former surveyor... great
stuff. He talked about differences in policies, what some of the
technical terms of coverage really mean, and most entertaining, a long
series of hurricane damage pictures.
