That's what I thought. And I'd rather invest in TLC on a first-class vessel than one that wasn't as deserving. Everything in the photos indicates an owner who took pride in his vessel and didn't cobble it up with junk equipment or poor installation. So I would bet that the engine room is seaman-like as well. I'm guessing that the TLC is the canvas is starting to go and now probably the brightwork needs attention.

And I think I know how that aft cabin came to be. I'll bet this boat started life like most Lyman Morse flybridge cruisers with an enormous aft cockpit a la picnic boats. And the owner needed another stateroom and commissioned - at great expense - this modification that left the aft bulkhead of the saloon intact. It wasn't perfect - note the limited access to the ladder to the flybridge - but it was well executed - note the fold down desk on the forward bulkhead of the aft cabin.
