[Public-List] Fwd: Alberg 30 1967 (240) on the hard at Hartge Yacht Harbor, Galesville, MD 20765

[George Dinwiddie]

I've received a couple direct replies on this topic.

I do not have any photos or know what work it needs. I do not know the 
current condition of the boat. If you want to know that, my advice is to 
call Hartge Yacht Harbor in Galesville, MD. This boat has passed through 
several owners since I've last rafted up with it.

My advice is to be prepared for it to be a mess cosmetically, for all 
the deck fittings and through-hulls to need rebedding, for hoses and 
seals to need to be replaced, for the fuel to need to be discarded. 
Beyond that, systems such as the head and engine are likely to need work 
from neglect. This is all my guess based on what I've seen happen when a 
boat is neglected.

I do know that a previous owner replaced the Atomic 4 with a Yanmar 
diesel about 20 years ago.

If anyone is seriously interested in pursuing this boat, let me know and 
I will forward your message to the current owner. I won't be an 
intermediary beyond that.

I do hope that someone rescues this boat that I remember as a fine, 
well-maintained boat once upon a time.
