Flying Pig Damage Assessment and update

One issue that hasn't been discussed is that eventually this boat will be sold again and do you think that the new owner will have faith in the work which has been done? To me this is no different than buying a car that was involved in a major accident. As much as I hate to say it, I wouldn't put money back into this hull. That would be throwing good money after bad. -- Geoff Hi G: I cast my vote in your camp. And this is from a guy who has two subscibtions: This Old House and Old House Journal. I have rebuilt a 1962 Dodge Dart, my now 1905 house and looking at a rehab on my mom's place built in 1886. That one will be a toatal gut to the studs. I know the impoortance of rebuilding and making better. But Skips bills and unknown expenses are just starting to roll in. Latest is $500 per week yard stay. And yes, unless he plans an insurance scuttle in a few years one google search for Flying Pig will reveal to all the crash and 'repair' story. That boat would really need to be a give away for someone to buy it in 5-10 years. If the table was turned, do you think Skip would buy the Pig when he was in search of his dream boat after learning of the boat's crash and repair history....? My vote: take the money........... walk away............. go sailing .. in a Cascade 28' tomorrow. Bob |
