Re: Stus-List Derelict C 24 MKII
I threw the hammer overboard. The thumbs are safe for another year (or are they?). The other side of the slip from us is an '80 38' C I enjoy renovation projects and with early retirement around the bend, I will have more time. Engine tear down, machining and rebuilding is my strong area and slowly adding marine reno department work. On the current side of work, Tapestry has a new modified (North) 150 for roller furling, Schaefer system to be installed in about a week by the rigger, and I will be changing a few cheek blocks for better cockipit line handling.

Re: Stus-List Derelict C 24 MKII
I got free O'day 22 as my first sailboat. Needed everything but the hull was in good shape. I went through the whole damn boat including new engine rigging, sails, bulkhead, teak toe rails, rub rail, various deck core/ rebed projects and crack fixes. The boat came out really nice but, I had dumped about 8 or 9k into it and sold it for $4800 after I got the viking 33, That boat was a similar story but, I paid $5k for it and dumped about 25k into it and sold it for $18,900 with a similar list of renovations including nav instruments, electrical wiring and all new head and plumbing holding talk... blah, blah, blah. I don't really complain because of the education in sailboat's inner workings and the warm and fuzzy feeling of saving another old, plastic boat from the scrap heap. Both of those boats, potentially, will have many more years of life out sailing. Funny thing is that they were both bought bought by new sailors who happened to be of the fairer sex, for whatever that is worth... but, a boat sitting holding 18 inches of water for god knows how long and leaks, and blisters...OMG I'm getting nauseated thinking about it...

Re: Stus-List Derelict C 24 MKII
I agree with the "run away!" comments. I bought my C 24 7 years ago for $3,600, with a rough working job, an almost new 150 (I think) Genny, a 9.9 hp outboard that seized up soon after purchase, a trailer. All in all on good shape. A year later I looked at almost the identical boat for $2,500. Imagine buying sails, rigging, outboard, etc for that.

Re: Stus-List Derelict C 24 MKII
My girlfriend bought a 27 ft for $1(that's another story). I think she paid too much, soft fore deck, rotted bulkheads, an engine that overheats, but it has good sails. I say run fast and far.

Re: Stus-List Derelict C 24 MKII
My boat repair buddy and I repair boats. He is incorporated as a marine salvage company. I was incorporated as a marine repair business. He and I have years and years of experience in repairing and refurbishing boats. After Hurricane Katrina, there were LOTS of boats available for "cheap". Also, there are occasionally derelict boats in nearby marinas. The marinas pick them up through sheriff's eviction due to non-payment of slip fees. The marina just wants them to go away so they can re-activate the slip. My boat repair buddy and I have raised more than one off the bottom at the expense of owners or the marinas. We don't work for free or for the salvage rights. So, how many have we bought or have gotten free in the last 15-20 years? Answer - zero. More often than not, the marinas hire a couple of guys to haul them out and take a chainsaw to them. Unless - all it needs is a relatively easy cosmetic fix and you don't have to pay storage or dockage, - you plan to fix it and keep it, or - you really, really like working on boats and have the time and $$ Run away!! Far, far away! Just my opinion. Dennis C.
