Well hopefully you will post pics of your new purchase so we can enjoy them with you. Nice Christmas gift to yourself.

'82 F-32

Needs lots and lots of TLC.

It looks like a great place from which to start. Good luck with her.

Nice Mercs in there too. I like the center riser exhaust on them.

Whats going on in the forward compartment under the v-berth floor? Looks spooky in there.

It has had some trouble keeping the water on the outside of the hull for a while. Bunch of dumb stuff and no adult supervision for awhile. It is dry now, or so i am told. I will see in a few days before writing a check. What am I doing!?

Nice boat ,I like it but the BLUE sink would have to go if it was mine

I would running away by facing this

... not at last, the whole vessel doesn't remind me to be familiar with a original F-32

15 K $ ?!? Some pictures of Jeff's project coming back, work for years, 2 tons of garbage to remove.
The original base is mostly destroyed in many places.

But - if you have a good staff for every single work (e.g. carpenter, mechanic, electrician etc.)
time and money - and the hull is without any osmosis:

Start your adventure !!!

Personally me I would keep looking for a better choice.

This one took around 13 K bucks:

Heiner , I have to fully disagree , Looks like a good base to start with sure it could some clean up ( as most in this range do ). If the engines run as good as the look thats a plus . No sighs of them being monkeyed with .
For the price you can't expect a brand new boat
