Well...I must say that this is an interesting thread. It seems we have a boat that was mistreated, abused, and probably damaged beyond reasonable repair. The issue is not whether it CAN be brought back to life..but at what cost ? According to one enthusiastic member...."nothing is junk"..."nothing is beyond repair". That may be true, but when do you say "uncle" ? This same member asked if a core sample was taken. Well, if you go with his theory...what would the core sample matter ? Everything is fixable right ? A few people on this site actually SAW the boat...the parts...and the surroundings it was in. I'm assuming these werent the only guys that looked at this vessel...probably dozens more that we dont even know about....AND ITS STILL FOR SALE !!! That right there should speak volumes as to the condition its in. It sucks to walk away from something, but once in awhile things just hafta be let go. There are ships at the bottom of the great lakes. Been there for many, many years. I guess someone could say they are still "fixable"...but is it realistic ? No. Too much time, money, grief, and politics. Hence the phrase "just not worth it".
I would think that theres gotta be someone on this site that lives near this boat that would go on an adventure, take some GOOD pictures (lots), and maybe some video of the hull, trailer, and the parts that come with it...then post them on here. I know I would if I could. :drink:
So, I'm gonna side with the guys who have actually seen the carnage...touched the boat...and smelled the mold and algea. Someone who hasnt done any of the above...has only speculation to go by. :drink:
