I posted about this boat a few years ago. She's been sitting untouched for the 7 seasons that I've been at this marina. I've always been curious as to what she was and why there's been no activity. Now I know.
The owner began a refit and ran out of money. To me, it looks like the owner didn't know what he was getting himself into. The paint on the port side looks good, but the starboard side has been completely stripped. I was never sure why, it makes me wonder whether the boat even needed a refit. Looking at the ad on yachtworld, I've learned that the engine was removed and is in the custody of a marine mechanic who partially dissembled it and is willing, now, to sell it to the future owner. Did the owner run out of money before he could even pay to have the engine completely dissembled? You can see that the alternator was removed and left laying on the mattress cover in the aft cabin, probably staining the cover. Maybe not a big deal, all things considered. It just shows a total lack of forethought and organization. The ad also states that there is no rig. Was it removed at another marina and has amassed such a storage bill that it's not worth buying back?
Anyway, it just seems like a huge shame. The boat was probably magnificent at one time and just fell into the hands of someone who was starry-eyed and short-sighted.
