Fair enough. Just looked ok for the money. Plus swapping sometimes saves much hassle.

I have always wanted to put an ad in the local trader "Swap case of beer for boat...cash adjustment either way" and see what turned up :D

Well Coops, you've seen it and as I recall you were critical of the finish of the two pack paint on the hull. Is that correct?

Just looking at the picks, it appears to be better than Palamida was when I picked her up, covered with barnacle scars, rot in the gunwale and the rudder needing some love. The price is about right.

If it is the finish that is hard to swallow, then some may be able to live with that, and others would have to sand it all off and do it again.

Cheers, Robert

It's a hell of a lot of work getting two-pack sanded back. Plus, when i saw it a lot of the boat was in boxes in the garage. The staunchions had been taken off, cannot remember what else was in bits. :? To the right person, ie, good with practical stuff, it would probably be a deal somewhere. To someone happily useless, like me, no good at all. :lol:

Coops, still searching.
