The restoration 49 RPH

[willysross]

I find myself out of time and money. I have put over 80,000 into it and it needs 20,000 plus paint to float again.
Anyone who wants to think about taking it over, i just don't have the time. Any offer considered

Still at Seaview?

 

[willysross]

Yes

 

[Bob Cofer]

Alright if we go take a look?

 

[willysross]

Absolutely all I want is my personal things and a good home for it

Twenty seconds left I will throw a bid across the bow and see if it sticks.

I am now the proud owner with the task of getting it to the Delta and couldn't be happier. It is now in Washington and I am going to go up next week to start preparing it for the voyage south. Well, now I am really going to stay anonymous!

I will keep you up on the adventure. I thought you were supposed to get smarter when you get older. Oh, did I mention I am working in Texas and I am landlocked? What an idiot I am!

I was hoping this would turn out better. It is sad.

Mixing alcohol and the Internet rarely turns out well.

Was this boat bought on eBay out of Powell River, BC?

Eye, yi, yi...

indeed.

I saw the for sale sign on it when we were discussing this boat:

I PM'd the original poster to stay away from that one. I don't know the guy but it appears that he has an affinity for orphan boats that he likes to flip.

Sorry. I could've, would've, should've told you to stay away as well...

Have a friend who redid a GB 49 of same vintage. The vessel is gorgeous. He was able to use his "connections" to have a top flight yard to do much of the work at cost, still investing several hundred K.

For those with skills and a wallet, redoing old boats is lots of fun and the end product life rewarding. Lacking either of these not so good.

The above paragraph needs to be in a sticky somewhere and every newbie that signs up here forced to memorize them.

Hmmm, bought a 76 Coachman motorhome once on Ebay, unseen.... :"Sir Gasalot" We're talking $2500 here, not thousand. Please, please don't let me do this with a boat.
