@ai6yr that boat would cost you less money if it had already sunk
@ozeng @ai6yr Given the harbor it's in (which I know well), it's actually not that scary looking.
Lately, the abandoned stuff in this harbor that isn't worth bringing back to life is just getting chopped up, since there's a local company now that does disposal. This *could* actually be a worthwhile project.
But it's not a free boat. It's a starting point for a long and expensive project. There are people that get into these things with a good understanding of what they're up to.
That'll clean right up. No problem.
But the transom itself might be rotted out and I'd bet money the motor is fried.
It's a Volvo, it'll be fine ;)
The underhull is rotting out. Give it a good, hard kick, and you'll have a shipwreck
@ai6yr Ehh... some sandpaper and elbow grease will make that shine again.
😁
@ai6yr We *were* just talking about your need for marine plywood in that other thread.
This undoubtedly has plenty of it....
@mathaetaes LOL this boat seems like an attempt to offload the cost of paying for disposal 😂
@ai6yr yawhat I 'm literally about to go pick up a new old boat ... reads like a beautifull blueblack cat passing by ...
@ai6yr And that pic is from 1986.
@ai6yr hence the classic quote, "The most expensive boat you'll ever own is the one you got for free."
Next photo they have posted. 😱
I know nothing about boats, but that looks... bad.
