Jus been to look at the saddest 30ds ever

[oldgit]

Been to look at 30 ft princess today.Worst one I have seen out of 15 or so boats.Several years of neglect some stuff had obviously stopped working years ago and had been left installed other stuff taken out with wires screw holes etc everywhere.at least 10 different sorts of carpet .Head lining stained/falling down.interior scruffy.Junk everywhere.Assorted surface fittings knocked off boat and not replaced.Any service history no chance.And all for top money of course.Asked if antifouled recently answer yes about 4 years ago....

Go on then - how much were they asking for this particular treasure?

£35k.Got to be bit careful not identify boat and upset owner. More bits u/s on this boat but cannot remember all.Most 30ds/33 boats I have looked at have been nice up to as new.Best was one on Thames.Virtually unused due to 2 x monster petrol guzzling V6 engines.Owner prob could not afford to start thing up very often.As usual so priced as to not make conversion to diesel economic.Dozens of long term for sale boats with petrols on legs infesting marinas,but none selling.
