which one to buy
 
Trash to some, is treasure to others. Like the guy that spends a gob
on a car and swears that the next thing that goes wrong with it, he'l
give it away or sell it super cheap, because he['s sick of the "nickel
& dime" syndrome

The next guy comes along, gets the vehicle for a song, installs a
$20.00 part and drives it trouble free for the next three years,
because the previous owner replaced 95% of what could go wrong witht he
car.

Wayne. What was the boat, and what determined the boat to be a
"junker" for you?

Good advice from both Chuck and Harry.

I just gave away a boat of similar vintage and issues. It was costing
more to maintain than it was worth, in other words, a "negative value"
boat. It still had some good features and good equipment but on
balance it was a junker.

I told all of that to the guy I gave it to but he still wanted it
anyway. Go figure. :-)
