So! Checked out that Marine Trader 40 yesterday. I must say, I was fairly impressed. It looks like a fairly solid, no frills boat prime for a refit and guilt free customization If the price was right. . .If I were to entertain a bit of a project, I'm thinking in the $20k's, maybe high teens? Out of curiosity I sent an email to the broker asking how serious they were about selling. . .
Decks looked better than the Albin. Only a few bungs missing. Couple areas need recaulked. Under deck areas I could see, no screws penetrated.
Genny is shot
All the windows need to be rebuilt/rebedded
Needs non-skid paint
Pulpit is cracked
Fuel tanks are original, but from the parts I could see looked pretty good. Of course, it's the parts you can't see. . .
Engine needs to be scrubbed and touched up
Diesel fuel in the bilge. I couldn't find a leak, assume a spill?
Oven works but is a crap pile.
Fridge works but is old and stinks
Battery bank is older
Thru hulls operated, surprisingly! handles were rusty.
New hoses and clamps scattered about. At least someone was doing something. . .
Needs a stem to stern, top to bottom scrubbing!
I like the room and the layout. And I like the walk around decks and line of sight around the boat from the flybridge. Thoughts?
