She will need to be on hard for a spell. That boat needs to be gutted and restored/reconfigure. Awesome 3 banger engine. That's the best thing about this old boat. Could be an above average live aboard if you know what you're doing.
Boat was slipped in 2015 and was in top condition. Sold shortly thereafter and as usual big ideas and poor advice taken. Lots of cosmetic work to do now. Deck was excellent but a piss poor sheathing job done which had no chance of working as the previous owners scrubbed 40 gallon of linseed into it every year. Engine to die for. ABC 3 CYL. Great seakeeper.
If you are planning to keep this job you might want to refresh your naval terminology. and what ever you do please let someone else record the video next time . thank you .😃
I dunno…he got most of it right, filming was a bit wobbly, but what do you expect. If you’re going to pick fault in people, then you might want to brush up on your grammar….
@Fumingzeus 😊 well I guess it sounds like I am picking on him. Not my intention. And yes, a refresher on grammar is always welcome. However, I speak two languages, and not to sound rude, but Americans can barely speak their own language, and let's not mention grammar with their double negative and the world ain't, which apparently is in the dictionary. Again, not trying to be offensive.😊 FYI, my family were all born here before you might get the idea of saying I am being racist.
I remember this boat from 90/91/92. We had it as a live aboard when working day boat fushi g for wrasse. Quite a bit changed, though.
the forward accommodation probably tells a story but they didnt show it, the deck over it did not look water tight.
You better be very good with woodwork
Looks like a very expensive but possibly rewarding restoration project.
Somebody that really really loves that kind of thing and has lots of time
@@jomon723 So true
@@jomon723 Time, as in a fit 25 year old to have time to enjoy before retirement... By golly, ten years are nothing. Been there, done that..
As Scooby Doo would say. I wront rink wrow
I’d like to see/ know more of this boat. I like it.
What was it fishing for? Woodworm! Looks like it caught plenty but forgot to unload its catch!
You have got to be joking. Project boat? Includes a bonus toaster. Cosy!
Wonder how she would look with sails on her
Looks like the SS WormWood/BugRot lol
USS Minnow on Gilligan's Island!

What's the price on this boat I'm look at replacing my house boat ?
You probably already checked out the links, but on ebay, an insurance company estimated it at 75,000 pounds sterling in it's current state.

Nice live aboard
Not at any price.
if this person is a salesperson he should get another profession.
Its rotten all the way through. (For my money I wouldn't touch it with a 40ft. Bargepole!!) As someone said - it looks like a VERY expensive project!!
Rotton as a pear and will smell sweet and sickly inside !! AVOID at all cost
