Some parts of the boat have attractive lines, but other parts are a dead
giveaway that it was a backyard project boat. While a qualified surveyor

the boat was seakindly would take someone willing to accept long odds. A
quick trial isn't going to tell you much.

For $200,000 plus, there are many nice choices available in used
cruising boats. This particular behemoth would not be one I'd consider
if I were in that market.

But it is a very interesting boat, to be sure.

Can't believe I actually concur with his preliminary assessment.
