Any one looking for a project?

I have this for sale, I do not want to sell, but cannot complete her. She was a dream that I thought I had achieved, then I found more and more to do.

So sorry to hear this, looks like a great project starting point for someone.

I just hope someone take her on, I really do not want to scrap her, but I cannot afford to keep paying storage on her :ambivalence:

Sorry to see you selling Sultan Mal. What are your intentions now?

I have given up on plans mate, I got married and thought it was life, it wasn't. I bought a boat, and intended to live on her, but that has not happened. So who knows what is around the corner, but unlike some, I relish the thought of the unknown :encouragement:
Something will come along, I do love the sea, and my dream is still to have my own sea going boat, I shall have to buy more lottery tickets

She was, wasn't she. And she can be again, but sadly not in my care. My problem was that due to a heart attack I was not able to do much heavy work, this I knew when I bought her but as I was working on her I found more and more that needed to be done, so I had to pay a fabricator, and it took a lot longer than I had hoped, so the costs kept on mounting, final result no more cash. Someone who could have done the heavy work themsleves would have finished now and at a lot less cost.

What an absolute shame, obviously very disappointing for you. I can only echo Robg's comment, she is a lovely looking boat.

If only I had the time and know how.... And money.

Good luck with your dreams.

Stuart.

That's a real shame - lovely boat and I'm sure someone will relish the project. Had you thought about a boat share with a difference - a kind of 'project share'? Perhaps someone like minded locally who'd love the opportunity and perhaps has the muscle but not the knowledge/vision?

Sorry to see you selling Sultan Mal.

Seconded 100%.
Even more so after reading the reasons behind such choice.

All the very best S_K for the sale, and for whatever you will find "round the corner" in the future.

It seems unlikely, when I brought her into the yard, everyone was really excited, they don't get boats like her in there, mostly sailing craft or 'ditch crawlers'
