This will make a great boat for someone with a couple of spare weekends to spend on it so don't miss a bargain.

This guy IS an optimist!

Surprising what you can do with a bit of effort.

Before

and after

More than a couple of weekends I bet?

 

[Superflid]

Two of us took just over a week, included rebuilding the trailer which it had sat on in long grass for years, that was in a much worse state than the boat!

Then it went on Ebay.

 

[Lakesailor]

That's 15/16 man-days then.

You've not seen the state of the men involved!
It was within 18 months of me leaving a wheelchair, aided by an arthritic carpet fitter......
I wouldn't argue that the boat in question needs more than a couple of weekends work, but if it was closer to home I'd be interested and probably have it back on ebay in a couple of weeks.

I've always been an optimist!
