Even put a deposit on it.
'Fine Shape' said the broker. 'Owned by a former marine carpenter'. My surveyor started at the bow, as 'That's where they start to go' he said. 'Nice & solid' he said, tapping with his mallet. He got aft about 6 or 8 feet, and the hull started to sound like a pumpkin. Got my deposit back from the broker. Too bad - I really liked the boat and would have enjoyed playing with that old Continental engine. Electrical system still had the original knife switches. I'd include a photo, but can't find it at the moment...
