Anyone in Charleston know this boat?

This is at least its second run on Ebay. I just thought someone may know the boat and know its issues...

Um...... this one scares me. I know nothing of it, but... if one of the primary selling features is that "There is a fully working head"... run away.

One head ripped out ?? 'Sunroof' that 'can be easily removed' where there is supposed to be a structural cabin top ?? "Engines are not running" ?? It has a 'kitchen' and a 'bathroom' and not a galley and head ??

Floating cottage. Assume no power. May not be seaworthy (it might float, but get in anything rough or take waves or spray over the bow and you might be in serious trouble...).

No - never seen this boat, and can't what Marina its at (I can tell you what Marinas its NOT at). It may be at Buzzard's Roost ...

The boat is also listed on Charleston Craigslist ...

Thanks for the responses. The guy emailed me a five year old survey, which highlighted a few minor issues. Otherwise, it was in decent shape. However, five years is enough time for a lot of things to break down or be torn apart. It sounds like the guy may be military, as he said he was being transferred and needs to sell her quickly. I'll keep an eye on it and if he drops the price, maybe I'll run down and take a look. I don't mind a project, in fact, I'd like something I can customize, but as maniac mentioned, I'd definitely want something seaworthy.

Thanks again.

Ask him where its docked. I'll swing by when I'm out and about and take a look for you.

That's a pretty generous offer and I appreciate it. It's apparently docked in Dolphin Cove at 2079 Austin Ave Charleston SC.
