the bilge was stained with higher standing water marks. If there was any seepage into the balsa over that length of time - it's cheaper to make it a 40ft lawn ornament. If the hull is good it was a steal even with having to re-do the tanks.

Either way, the boat appears to have crossed the block - someone bought a 40' cat trailer and they through the hull in

Depends. Was it just pre bud to that figure? Live auction starts after prebid. I will try and check.

I would be worried at $6,000. At $79,000 it's a joke.
