strip-planked hulls

[sachem]

puzzled
I know the boat as she sits several canals away from me and Ive been on her several times crawling the bilge opening hatches/access etc. The owners a nice guy, (Guido) no pun intended. The boat has been for sale for several years and the price has dropped according to the boats deterioration. unfortunately, Its going as I type this. All kidding aside this boat is for someone with very deep pockets and a passion for this particular boat. I have lots of passion as i'm sure you do, but financially it just doesn't make any sense. I could go on and on about what i think the boat needs. But reality is it needs someone with big cash , it's a big boat with problems that aren't going to get better without lots of cash. transom, stem, deck hull joints, decking, rot. So my advise is enjoy the ride you won't get one on a boat like that often. but be realistic. Anyway love to hear how the ride goes, If you want to know more, or talk email me
