Don't get me wrong it is an awesome boat, but I have a feeling it is going to end up like the C55 that's sitting stripped in the barn right next to this boat, and just like this 46 Cougar from years ago. A huge enclosed, diesel endurance boat with no cabin isn't really that hot of an item on the resale market.

That boat is finally sold from that yard, prob just rotting in another now though, it was at that shop forever.

He is right down the road from me, I swung by there the other day and he now has the original INXS Fountain to sit along with the 55 Cary he has had forever.

I'm a small time guy, and it absolutely kills me to see these giant purpose built boats just sitting around in various yards all over the country rotting away

INXS

The dude that's selling INXS has a bunch of big, derigged stuff that pops up for sale all the time. Some stored indoor and some stored out. Names Ralph C. (??). Usually really cool stuff with tons of potential but also usually priced on the high side.
