Have you looked at that boat?

I have. The owner is a really nice guy (runs the local marine mechanic service in SB) but the boat itself is pretty rough, in my opinion. The relatively new motors are really nice, but when I crawled around on it, I found myself thinking that it would take more work than I was wiling to invest to make it "nice" as a boat. It reminded me of a musty camper that had been parked under some trees in someone's yard for a little too long. Lingering funky smells, leaf debris and dirt in all the little crevices, rusty fittings, etc.

He is basically selling it for slightly more than the value of the motors, though, so its all relative. If someone wanted to put some effort into it and this was *exactly* the kind of boat they wanted, its probably a really good deal. I was also scared off by the balsa/wood cored hull and the general condition of the bilge (moldy).
