Re: Solid FG Hull Damage

In the pictures, aside from the beautiful light wood used below (love it), there is plenty of evidence of water damage. Did you notice the rust on the front of the electrical panel? I can only imagine the other side. Also, that big green panel looks like an old radio direction finder. Thats a museum piece. Also consider the long overhangs...although its a 40 footer, it has the space of a 30 below.

Re: Solid FG Hull Damage

Hi, regarding the Hinckley Bermuda 40. My opinion is that if it needs new engines and a complete rewire and refit inside then unless you can get it for peanuts, then 'give it neck'. That's an English way of saying, leave it alone. Cheers.

Re: Solid FG Hull Damage

Hi, sorry, I should have read your profile I assumed without looking that you were American\Canadian like most of the members. Very remiss of me. I am still surprised you have never heared that expression, though now I come to recall it , it is actually a Midlands expression. I lived in Wolverhampton for many years. My dad was from Lancashire, Manchester, Higher Blakely. Cheers.

That isn't unique to England! I have heard and used it all my life.

That big green thing is a Sailor Radio. They were a top of the line radio from the last millenia made in Europe and seldom seen this side of the Atlantic except in very high end boats. It is a bit of an antique but a radio not an RDF.

Looked for evidence of water damage but could see very little if any on the interior. There did appear to be some stains on the V berth but they could have been from normal wear on a boat that old. Puzzling if the stains on the electrical panel were from the flooding or just exposure to salt air. The non running engine could be from lots of issues other than flooding. To make an intelligent bid on this boat would require careful inspection. Failing that, wouldn't bid more than recycle value.

I wouldn't, may cost a disposal fee not a recycle value.

While a Hinkley may be a great boat to rebuild and come out ok, If they are laughing at $25k offer you should just walk away. This assumes the boat was sunk or partially sunk. Problems from that:
-Engine is garbage
-water has soaked into the bulkheads and cabinetry, will cause the plywood to separate likely.
many other things.

Tell them you have re-considered and offer $15,000. Seems like they must have had insurance and are trying to get rich, or they were not insured and are trying to get another boat. To bad if that is so but how bad are you going to screw the next guy?
Sinking is one thing but getting a hole bashed in the side of the boat is another. There is probably not anything with any mass that should not be inspected.
