Totaly agree with that if the prices quoted for good condition boats are correct.I suppose you can't blame CR for trying it's up to potential purchasers to do their homework before parting with their cash
Even in the add he admits to the repair being worth 35k as he asks 85 as is & 120 fixed
Can't blame him for trying I suppose

why would you buy that damaged when you could buy this http://www.theyachtmarket.com/boats_for_sale/1076099/ or similar boats for similar price

id be staggered if anyone paid more than £20k for the boat as salvage

You'd need an open cheque book to put it right. The only reason I'd consider buying it is for the parts that could be sold. The thought of restoring it would give me nightmares.

There's a fire damaged Sealine on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealine-F...630?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item25a08eafce
As with the boat mentioned above there seems to be little to salvage other then the engines ?

The most expensive bit will be replacing all the gloss cherry woodwork, it's horrendously expensive. I know having had to pay out for a few panels on my last boat. Other lined interior panels won't be bad but smell will be another big issue. Lots of gelcoat work too.
Needs a visit to see actually how bad.
Don't forget the machinery is the expensive bit and that all appears to be working having travelled 3 hours in this state so could be a do-able project. I'd have a go at it if wasn't silly money but at £85k asking it's never going to be cheap enough!

At least a somewhat more realistic asking starting price.Good examples seem to go from £65K and up.....
Those outdrives look to have been unloved for more than the 2014 last service claim.
Duoprops look beyond saving to me ?

I'm amazed how people will present things for sale. Spend a day or three cleaning that up and it could look a lot more attractive. As it looks now it's scrap and a disgusting mess.
How they expect to sell that I'll never know.

I saw this one at Highway Marine in Sandwich, Kent two weeks ago....looked like the fire started in the galley, as the hull looks undamaged. Not sure if I would like to take this on as a project though.

+1 it is a mess nothing more than scrap surely every part of the boat is destroyed how the hell do you put that right

Repairing any of them cost effectively depends on the purchasers skills & time availability clearly the t43 is overpriced as it seems you can buy an up & running boat for the same money. If it was at say £40k then CR have estimated £35k for them to do the repair that makes the finished item £75k which is a little saving.
But if the buyer can do the repairs himself to a good standard then he is probably looking at 10-15k for materials plus his time making the boat finished cost £55k which is a nice tidy saving
The owner also has the benefit of knowing every last inch of his boat & the boat will benefit from lots of new stuff furnishings etc which would otherwise be starting to look tired in an old boat
I can see the attraction of buying the boat but obviously the price would need to be right so you end up with a cheap boat for your trouble & considerable time but as stated above more like 40k than 85k

I thought it looked like the fire had started in the front cabin - but photographs often don't give a true impression.

If you have the money to be able to berth/service/insure and put fuel in that boat,doubt you will be in the fixxer upper bit of the market.More aimed at somebody looking to make few quid and then outing it onto the market,probably a long way away from its home waters ?
