Bring an outboard and an anchor, it looks ready to sail."

I've check on decomissioning this boat and lifting onto my trailer, less than $300.00 , seems very fair , I guess transport cost have scared the last 2 auction winners:(. This boat is also on yachtworld website.
it looks like she found a home at $1625

third time is the charm, let's see if it's really sold again!;)
Actually looks like a nice boat, always liked a dark hull.
looks like someone wrapped the interior in carpet and shelf paper, or is that padded vinyl on the hull sides?
Maybe the new owne will stop in and introduce themselves.
