Worse case scenario.

Motor would have to be tore down and cleaned up to run. I am sure it is al tarnished up from the sitting gas.

Someone jacked up the dash, probably stealing the electronics from it. Dash will have to be rebuilt and electronics replaced.

Finish where the sun is hitting is beat up bad, it "might" come back after a compound and waxing. It might need to be refinished.

Gonna need at least a Bimini top.

Trailer looks solid, probably will need wheel bearings and tires.

It will all add up.

I guess I will track down the owner of the house and go from there. He might jump at a chance to sell it off or he may be greedy.


My plan was to purchase a boat at the end of the summer when sellers will be more desperate facing the prospect that they will sit on them all winter for sale.

My budget for a well sorted used boat is in the 15K range but if I can grab this one up it will satisfy the itch for now.
