I found this one earlier today and went and looked at it. Unless you want a MAJOR!!!! project, stear clear of this one. I let the pictures tell the tale(and it looks MUCH worse in person). The guy tols me over the phone that it was an insurance salvage that had been stripped, but was in excellent structural condition with glossy GEL-COAT. Boy was I shocked at his idea of excellent structural condition.

It looked OK at this point


Then this, yes that is bare glass on the hull bottom


And it gets worse, those are holes filled with marine-tex


The final straw, it was soaked in the transom from where the engine was removed.


Not to mention the water-based white paint that was brushed all over it.
