Default eBay 30'

I love these old 30's. I used to daydream about them back in the 80's.

In need of some TLC!!!! I would have waited for the water to quit running out of it before I took the pics of the transom. !!! These 30's keep popping up, I may take on a new project!

Just the standard soggy Velocity transom . Nothing out of the ordinary, better the water drain out, than get stuck in there.

Thanks Bodyshot. Prob a little more than I want to spend though. It would need to have some creature comforts for the wife as well! Personally I like the budget projects, they are so rewarding in the end!

Now you see the advantage of the "Beak", it's still above water. I'll bet that wasn't caused by a soggy transom.

Agreed - a far more serious Fountain structural problem caused this sinking. (I realize this is just my conjecture about a SPECIFIC boat that I know nothing about but that seems to be a trend or perhaps a life style for some so why not? Seriously - isn't it time to let go of such a tired topic, archive it just to remind folks to always get a survey on old boat before they buy and move on to something else?)

My boat's amenities consist of a drywall bucket. Perfect!
