Poor thing, very sad - but at some point the struggle to keep that boat alive just becomes too much. I've been watching that story since I lived in Alaska in the 80's and 90's. Certainly the current owner wants to recover some of his costs, but it's the kind of project now where you'd be lucky to find someone to take it at $0 purchase price. It's like the Queen Mary in Long Beach, constant streams of money poured in by hopeful investors and buyers over the years, but you're always fighting constant - and expensive - deterioration.
