[Public-List] Boat Parts

[Glenn Brooks via Public-List]

So, is this just an old neglected boat, or is there some major damage that prevents restoration?  There are always guys on the Cruising Forum looking for a low cost rebuild project- not that all of them finish the job by any means.  But it seems a shame for an Alberg hull to go to waste for want of 500 bucks.  You can't touch a new 30 footer for under 100k these days.
