Just to let everyone know I went down to that boat yard (just to look at it) and yep it was a mess. The deck is torn up in places, the inside looks like a box a homeless guy would live in. Trash everywhere, the wood and paneling is all ruined, the wooden deck below is all peeled up and crumbles in your hand, there was even old food in the fridge (Yuck, made me gag). The preveious owner lived on the boat the entire time and it looks like he never once did any work or upkeep. I would not even call it a project boat, it appears to be a total loss. They will now tell me if he died on it, but it smells like he did. (Not a joke)

Also I just found the broker put it on Ebay for 15K and has one bidder already. He put up the photos that are seen erlier in this post. How he can do that I have no idea but the boat in NO WAY AT ALL resembles ANY of those photos. When I got to the yard to look at her they had to point her out because I could not find her......and she was only 30 feet away from me.
