Jeez, I can't believe I was sucked into this vortex again
In Response To: Older boats? ()

Just got back from looking at the Tartan. I hardly know what to say. I absolutley can't figure out what glasses these old owners have on when they talk about their boats?? What I was sent were obvioulsy old photos from the glory days when the owner and the boat were in their prime. The sad truth is that the boat now looks like it has been abandoned and instead of being sold should just be scrapped. Total crap. I guees it has been sitting under a winter cover for years, the exact number is unknown atthis point. Sails on, which means they are also total crap, I doubt the diesel would run, but it might. Obvioulsy the owner lost some of his docking skills based on what was left of the bow.

Guess I'll order that rebuild kit for the galley footpump on the Islander.
