Talking Re: Post the worst 'For Sale' picture you've seen.

Here is a nice project for someone in good health, with lots of money and more time than they know what to do with.

The last photo - OhMy

Only if they have lived solo on a boat for too long and that mess is now normal...

Gadagirl - the best thing in the photos there was the BBQ chicken breasts !

Re: Post the worst 'For Sale' picture you've seen.

No 2 is pretty cool. Just needs a bilge pump and a battery :)

Re: Post the worst 'For Sale' picture you've seen.

Does not look like too bad a boat from the outside. I like the bulb keel.

May there always be water under you boat, but not inside !

If you can keep the water out of the boat the insides are...

Re: Post the worst 'For Sale' picture you've seen.

Now the next two images are of a small yacht in need of TLC :D

The third is of a secretive head, we were not game to open it to see if the coffee was brewing.

Re: Post the worst 'For Sale' picture you've seen.

I was looking at the smaller timber plug to the left, the one where you can not see where the tip resides ?

Re: Post the worst 'For Sale' picture you've seen.

Spare ?

Perhaps not.

Looked at a steel 38' yacht once that had several weeping units like that shoved through the hull in various places. As the rust ate away around the plug, they just...

Re: Post the worst 'For Sale' picture you've seen.

Here is some "Osmosis" in a Nicholson 34.
