Um, no (and I get the joke) its a water ballasted hunter... although methinks that wasn't the designers idea.Oh, that's one of those water ballast MacGregor's
I'm guessing something popped off a thru-hull, based on that someone hopped down below, came up, and then the floats were removed and it was "fine" again. I'm guessing a hose failure, they closed the thru-hull after it was floating again, and now the process starts again.Ok seriously, what caused the sinking? Anyone know?
Oh I get that for sure. I love boats, and mine in particular. But there are limits. For me, my time is worth as much as my money, if not more. And I have a keen sense of what 'negative economic value' means. Because that is not a priceless and rare artifact they are pulling off the bottom. Its a low-value 80s boat that now needs every single system replaced or reworked. You could buy a replacement model for 1/2 of what that is going to cost. To me it makes as much sense as restoring this. ;^)C'mon Jackdaw. Have a little more optimism. While we like to think of our boats that keep us safe and provide unlimited amounts of fun as living, breathing entities, they are, in fact, just hunks of fiberglass, metal, wood, fabric, etc. Just about anything can be brought back to "life" given enough elbow grease and $$$. Just sayin'.
i would love to get my hands on that and drop a 4 cylinder diesel in itOh I get that for sure. I love boats, and mine in particular. But there are limits.

I totally agree. The only opinion that matters here, unless asked, is that of the owner. For me, as much as it would hurt, if my boat sunk ... salvage.Oh I get that for sure. I love boats, and mine in particular. But there are limits. For me, my time is worth as much as my money, if not more.
