So this boat that was waiting to be pulled out of the water. 1977 Jeanneau Gin Fizz ketch, needs a little TLC, engine is seized up. There's a hole in her rudder.
However, Tim met the new owner who wants to take this boat and bring her back to glory. Good for him. He must be a glutton for punishment. However, I was researching this boat and he truly only paid what I actually saw it listed for, helluva deal, well, except for the $20-30K he'll probably need to pour into it.
Oh, and they also plan to sail her to Houston.
He and his wife will be up next week, hopefully we can hook up with them and maybe take them for a sail on the HemiD.
Here's what the bottom looked like when she was pulled.
