Privilege 37... worth this much?

[Jeannius]

I think the woodwork has all been sanded back and then given a darker stain than the original Beech veneer. Trim around doors etc done with an even darker stain. Been done by someone with far more sense of style than I possess!

Windows appear to have been re-seated. The original sealant, a Dow Corning product, did harden in the sun causing the leaks as the hull flexes slightly. Later Privileges used a better sealant.

I suspect everything has been done properly but only a survey will tell.

Just a quick update to say thanks for all the help on this thread! I made an offer after visiting the boat and basically falling for it on site and they accepted 165 in the end. A surveyor found nothing wrong and she seems totally ready for anything so here to the future of trying to live off the grid!

Congratulations. Pleased it is as nice in the flesh as appeared on website. Let me know if you need crew to help move to warmer waters

How do you figure a GRP hull is at end of life exactly?
