without the cement

This advert made me laugh


42' FERRO CEMENT SAILING HULL without the cement. Beautiful lines and craftsmanship. $2,000/obo. Must move this summer. Shawn (707) 823-1126 or (707) 479-5487 (cell). [http://www.latitude38.com/classy/Cla.../clas4050.htm]

Must be those cement eating termites !
Usually its a ferro hull without the steel (in places) and the culprit is sulphating bacteria.

Now there's something!.... hope it's just the usual classified-ad typos...
Isn't that like advertising something like, " 40-ft ketch, with rig, needs hull and keel "?..... lol

What about an ad that showed an outboard motor and said "powerboat-needs hull"
