What are the odds it is bought for the engine, generator and other kit, and the hull simply burned? (That is, if you are actually allowed to burn wood in California.)
American Ebay is where I go when I have a spare moment to sit and dream, and do a little planning.
There is a lot of tat on there, but also a lot of bargains, a Dufour 35, fully loaded at $15,000US anyone? Or how about a 58ft Ferro ketch needing around $6,000US spent on her, the price? $5,500. You money goes so much further over there.
And I really hope someone rescues and restores that boat up there at the moment, just look at here lines!
Phew!!! you had me going for a while /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif... with the Dufour 35 & I thought I had a bargain /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif.
You can buy her for $40,000 & at $14600 she aint met her reserve yet, which I bet is around $30k, even at that she would be a good buy. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
