We really need to sell her



We thought we had a buyer. That buyer really wanted the engine fixed. So we bought a replacement cylinder head and got the engine fixed. It took a long time. Once the engine was fixed, that buyer found some soft spots in the deck and backed out of the deal. We've since had an estimate of $7000 for a boat builder to repair the decks. However, we're not willing to try to manage that sort of project from the other side of the world so we're slashing the price. It sucks for us, but we just need her to sell. This is a chance to get a great boat (that needs a bit of work now that she's been just sitting for so long) for a really low price.
