    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/Clas200506/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
