Default Re: Help MJ find his next boat

Ok I went and looked at the boat, Needed huge amount of cosmetic, but thats OK, Then I looked at the motor, could have been cleaner, But I have seen worse, and all looked well.

Then I started punching the stringers, not hard and all in the engine well were solid.

NOW I ck the gauges and all the switches and they all worked even the wipers!

Got in the cuddy looked OK, lifted the cushions and there are wood hatches open the pass side first and hit the stringers, sounded little hollow?
Went to the drivers side went to punch the stringer and my hand went right thur!@! No wood left except some rotted splinters!

Guy was trying to hook up water and I said forget it, he said why, I said the stringers are roted, he came up and looked we shook hands and as I was leaving he looked like he was about to cry!!

Feel Bad I was the one to tell him!!


So the search goes on!!
