Free (neglected) boats are very very expensive people. Pay the 3-6k and get one that doesn't need 8-10 to be competitive.

>> I've gotten a number of questions about this boat from different
> people today, which I'll address here:
>> 1.) "Are you giving away a trailer with the boat?" -- No. If I'd had a
> trailer, I'd have pulled the boat from the
> water a long, long time ago, and would likely have actually _used_ the
> boat in a meaningful way. No trailer.
>> 2.) "Does it have an outboard?" -- Yes. It's a Nissan 5.0HP longshaft.
> I got rid of the old 3.5HP outboard when
> I first bought the boat because it felt underpowered motoring in and
> out of the seawall-protected parts of the
> marina, and I wanted to counter the sometimes-considerable ebb and
> flood currents at the harbor entrance.
> No, you're not going to fire up the motor when you take the boat,
> because it's been been started in a couple of
> years. You'll ruin it, if you can even get it started (I'm assuming
> the spark plug is shot by now, for example.)
> You need to strip it, clean it, and lube it. But it exists if you want
> to use it properly. Or you can sell the damn
> thing.
>> 3.) "Does it sail?" -- It did last time I sailed it. I'd clean her up,
> lubricate some winches, etc.
>> 4.) "Do you have photos?" -- I have lots. But the most recent I have
> are from last spring when I renewed my
> BoatUS insurance policy on it. Three photos from March 2015; I'll send
> them to you privately if you're interested.
>> 5.) "Will you deliver it to me at X?" -- Haha... no. "Free" boat.
>> 6.) "Can I take it out first before I decide?" -- Nope. "Free" boat.
> Or, yes, but I'll charge you my normal
> professional engineer's consulting fees for my time. I bill hourly, 4
> hours minimum. And I'm not cheap.
>> 7.) "I'm interested but I can't see you this weekend, can you hold it
> for me?" -- No, sorry. If it really takes me
> two weeks to get this albatross from around my neck, I'm going to
> offer it to the USN (I still have a couple of
> buddies there, I think) as a gunnery practice target.
