I hate to see her like that. Sad to say, she may never see water again. We need more people like Kracker, willing to buy one and do a complete rebuild. People just do not want old boats. They would rather spend $30k up on a new boat, and would have just a good a boat for less money if they would buy an older one fix it up and customize it to suit their needs. An old boat is just as seaworthy as a new one. I would feel just as safe on an old boat with a new motor as a factory fresh boat.
If I had the money to rebuild her, I would ride up there and bring her back to FL. But I cant afford two boats.
Looking back at the pics, she has probably been used recently based on the anchor on the deck, unless its a "prop." She is in the exact shape I bought the 18 Fisherman in. No motor, no trailer, and competely gutted and stripped of everything of value.
