Who is talking about a project? It is clearly not worth it, but if you will notice the self tailing winches alone might be worth the asking price. They are probably advertising for a salvage vendor to strip and dispose of the hull. Seen a very nice boat once named "Garbage Stinks" . It shows there is money in dealing in trash.
Yep, already thinking that and even made an offer to purchase the three winches. Just waiting for that PM from @limax in the original post on Hunter Owner Forum. I’m pretty sure I’d get screwed on the deal, but worth a shot.

My Ex-Wife!
I am confused. I am still with my first wife. She understood that I wanted a boat even if she is not crazy about sailing. She joins me when it is warm and forecast to be nice.

But she is not into the journey. So we plan destinations.
The boat cost is not the issue. It is about the destinations we visit and the weather.
When we were cruising through a series of squalls she took the picture which I use as my avatar. She was warm in the cabin. Feeling a bit guilty she considered coming up and relieving me at the helm. instead she took my picture, sent it to our daughter and said "This is your Dad's dream" then made me a cup of hot chocolate and went back to her iPad in the warm cabin.

That’s a loving wife right there.
