You must be bored! Or you're just looking for an interestingly expensive past time. I'd rather be boating than fixing, but that's just me!

I visited it last night. I jumped inside.. it's a bit dity and theres a few things that could be replaced.. but who can complain... the owner donated the boat. He has 5 and said he pulled it out in 2001 because he didn't have time for it

who knows. need to go look at it. engine run? could be a lot of work. what a boat costs tells you nothing about how much money you may need to put into it.<br /><br />some of the add info doesn't make sense as well. trailer info is a bit off.

I sort of want to hear the creaks lol <br /><br />I think i'm just being extremely stubborn here and I am probably would be getting myself in too deep (no pun intended)

You say you want a fixer upper but later you say you have no room at home to set the boat during this process...This sounds like an inconvenient pain at the least and totaly impractical at worse.Gotta line up needs, wants, and practical resources on the same page
