Anyone get the story on this boat? I am sure the parts would be worth more that 6K? Someone said the arch is worth a few grand?

Sad to see a fine boat so poorly taken care of.

I've talked to the owner about possibly taking it off his hands this spring. Not ready to make a move yet. He said it has been sitting uncovered for a few years. The last time he had it out, he blew the port motor. While he was trying to get it fixed he injured his back and could not get back to it. And as a result, the starboard motor did not get winterized and popped the freeze plugs. He's seems like a pretty nice guy. Pretty upfront over the phone.

My bub who's looking for a vice checked it out pretty rough, I would worry about the stringers,, sad..so sad,,,

So the stringers were suspect? How'd the transom and the hull look? Also, the floor in the cabin? I have a lot of pics of the cockpit and cabin, so I know what the upholstery is like, but that is "easy" stuff. I'm not affraid of a project, but I do not have an unlimited budget, so if it is not structrually sound.....
