Hi, I just drove down to St Augustine from
Annapolis. A waste of time. The
boat is old and has been "rode hard and put away wet". it looks like there has been no
maintenance done on the
boat in many years. There is NO
equipment
on her, nothing but an old warn out
engine, that needs replacement, acording to the mechinic. it really looks bad, and it is using
oil. A new 3ym20 will run $9000/$12000. The
broker told me that the owner turned down $30,000 so with a new
yanmar you already invested more then the boat is worth, due to it's very bad condition. They told me that the
sails were "very Good" believe me that is not true, same for the
rigging, bad. The gell coat looks ok but the non skid is bad. the
stove has seen better days and the Boat is just dirty. there is also some
rot under the sink and some of the tabing has delaminated. I'm sure a
survey will turn up more.
