Here's the lowdown from the broker: *First, let me explain that the guy bought the boat for $60,000 and then proceeded to put another $60,000 into the boat with items like: new engine, new sails, new rigging, new hydovane, etc. He put nothing into updating the interior, but you have to admit he took care of everything having to do with sailing the boat. So the cushions are original and are old-tired. This is not a huge issue and a full set can be built here in Mazatlan for probably $2500. The sink counter is a plywood with formica laminate and water got into it and the plywood spread out. Again this is a really cheap fix<$500. The refrigerator insulation needs a little fixing too. The guy just ran out of money and could not continue to fix up the boat. I personally think it is a hell of a good deal..the boat is solid with a tall rig and proven to sail well in light air or heavy. By today's standards she is narrow [11.5ft] but that means she has a nice motion through the waves. My Saga 43 is similar in that the beam is 12ft and she has a fine motion through the water. The owner is motivated to sell. You get a 39 ft greyhound for a good price. *
My take on it was that it was going to take another $10K and a lot of sweat equity to make it work. The number of bodies volunteering to partner up was a real surprise. I gots to think about that.
