      All,

      Hull 56, a tall-rig sloop, is for sale in FL for $8k as a project.

      No engine.

      All,
      We know this boat and had a deal going on it late last year. Divorce situation. Lack of engine caused insurance problems which caused problems finding dockage, so we passed.
      It’s bare-bones, not in bad shape considering 6 years of sitting at the dock, and could be a good project for someone. I have a ton of pics if anyone is interested.

      I’d be interested in the mast if the boat was beyond repair, but it sounds like that’s not the case!

      Not at all. In fact, the boat appears solid (but we didn’t have her
      surveyed). The only major work (as we recall):
      1. Engine – frozen and has been sitting 6 years
      2. Hole in top of transom (badly installed radar pole broke free)
      3. Leak into nav station rotted out a small portion of the sole and the nav
      desk. Electrical panel appeared fine.
      4. Chunk of teak missing from toe rail.

      Caveat emptor, of course.

      Engine replacement – $10K .. $25K depending on condition of the rest of the machinery + fuel-tank. Possible rebuild.
      labor, 50..100 hrs

      Hole in transom – $1k Assuming the bilge is kept dry, no big deal.

      Leak in nav-station – $1k assuming dry-rot is not structural

      Toe-rail – $100, assuming that the damage is just a small section and the hull/deck is OK

      Must have hit send before I was finished typing.

      labor 40hrs

      Leak in nav-station – $500 assuming dry-rot is not structural
      labor 40hrs

      Toe-rail – $100, assuming that the damage is just a small section and the hull/deck is OK

      If this is all that’s wrong, this sounds like a deal for someone who has a bit of time and a few extra bucks. I’d pick this up if it were close to me in NH. I don’t know what a used 424 goes for these days but it must be north of $50K.

      Me too Rich, if I were close I’d seriously consider buying this after
      having a look of course.

      As would we if we weren’t currently landlocked. As it is, Revery is lonely
      without us.

      I have a functioning, spare w58 engine, if that helps. I got it as a back
      up spare for $1k three years ago. I think it needs a raw water pump, but
      rest is there. My current engine appeares to be solid (knock wood) so I’m
      going to let it go.

      #56 currently has a (dead) W60. Unless I’m mistaken, different bed…so not
      a drop in solution. Doable, however.

      Parts are no longer available for the W60. Changing the engine bed isn’t all that difficult.

      If someone bought it I might offer to take the engine out for them if they would let me have it for parts.

      Hi Roger,

      What would you let it go for and where is it?
