Hi everyone sorry for the delay been busy with work.
The mast is a US Spars. I have a quote from them to replace for about $20K including the shrouds. A replacement headsail
furler will be about another $3-$4K. That plus the swim platform ($3K) are the major
repairs needed. The mast is in two pieces, whoever buys the boat is welcome to take the pieces back with them to Florida but there was some damage to the spreaders. I already bought a new mast step, generator cover and aft starboard stern pulpit railing and the buyer will get those included.
CampDavid: You said you can see a picture of the swim grid? Not following. No one has spotted the swim platform yet or at least brought it to the attention of the boatyard.

Equipment (going off memory here):
-54HP
Yanmar engine with sail drive - worked great before storm. ~300 hours.
-Onan
diesel generator (6 or 7 kW). ~100 hours.
-Electric
anchor windlass with both local control and
remote control in
cockpit
-Anchor upgraded to
Rocna 55 pound. Still have original
CQR buyer can have.
-Electric toilets, set up for freshwater flush
-140%
Genoa sail, unaffected by storm since was in front storage locker. Just had the sacrificial leech replaced (cost $1,500).
-Mainsail - needs minor patch work from the storm, but is fully recoverable.
-10'
inflatable West
Marine HP-301 dingy
-custom
cockpit cushions
-Ocean
electronics package including
radar (was working before storm), MFD's at both
helm stations
-Additional 7"
chartplotter MFD installed at Nav desk
-Autopilot
-Standard Horizon GX2200 (if I recall)
VHF radio
-AIS/NMEA2000 interface which displays
AIS data right on the
chartplotter - VERY nice addition
-Fusion
radio with 4 speakers (two in main
salon, two in cockpit)
-TV in
salon
-two inverters, one 200W dedicated to TV (so you can watch TV just running on battery) and one 1800W Pure Sine Wave Xantrax
Prosine inverter. Lets you brew coffee and run the microwave without needing to start generator, very nice.
-Air conditioning; two 16K BTU units in owner's
cabin and main salon, one 6K BTU unit for aft staterooms
-Three-burner
stove,
oven
-Microwave
-Fridge and ice box
-Tail section of Jordan Series
Drogue, used for sub-hurricane rough
weather. If you buy the main section for a little more you will have a full survival
drogue.
-Seabrake drogue, not as good as the Jordan but much easier to recover. Bought this to use going through a cut between islands in the
Bahamas if conditions didn't look calm.
-Life raft
-EPIRB (need to check
battery expiration date)
-Raymarine Downview imaging sonar, integrated into chartplotter MFD's. Shows the bottom in pretty incredible detail.
-Explorer chart chip for chartplotter
-Dinghy
davits - one of the
davits may need replacement, the cross-bar ends need straightening or the davit bar replaced.
-Solar: Has four 100W
solar panels and frame to mount atop the
dinghy davits. Morningstar Prostar
solar controller. This
solar setup was nice, it would really cut back the amount of time you'd need to run the generator to recharge the
batteries when making a
passage. At
anchor or dockside it would keep your
batteries topped off without ever running the generator.
-Simarine Pico battery
monitor - this is awesome, it shows the state of charge, voltage and amps in/out far more accurately than the switch display at the nav station. Really saves on generator run time.
-A ton of little improvements and other related tools and
equipment like additional dewatering pumps I'll go over with the buyer.
A large part of me wants to get the boat back to Florida and restore it and then either sell it for a lot more or just keep it. But it's hard to take time off work to manage the recovery, especially motor it back to Florida. If someone can take a couple weeks off work to get it back or is retired this would be a great deal for them. If I get it back to Florida then the hardest part for me is over and I'll re-evaluate.
It looks like the boat should be set upright in the next 5 days or so. I'll try to find a window to fly down and test the motor and generator and other systems. I will also meet the buyer at the boat and go over the systems and operation before they set out.
Thanks for looking and take care everyone.
