If I would
1/replace the skipper
2/emptied the boat
3/complete overhaul and start from scratch
4/re advertise again

OMG! Certainly could do with a woman's touch! Although I think any woman would be afraid of being buried alive under a mound of refuse in a seaway or impaled on a fork or butter knife in some freak accident, like those hoarders who are found dead in their homes years after they die. Not that it's not a nice Manitou an' all and I'm sure it's all just extremely useful, rainy day, must have, essential items .

1st rule of attracting a female to your boat/pad or dungeon: clean it up before you take the photos!

Well it's going to be a toss up between the female and selling it.

I guess she won't sell me the blue baskets though if she did buy it

Why the derogatory tone from posters to this guys advertisements? It seems, and I am only going on my interpretation of advice given to other inquiries regarding purchase of a first boat, that this particular vessel would be eminently suitable as a first boat and is priced at or near its value.
And it does have two Bukh diesels to go. Wasn't there an earlier thread on here about the economic value of purchasing a spare Bukh for rebuild. You actually nearly get this boat for free and only pay for the engines.

Noone's criticising the sale of the yacht, just the mess. Have sailed on Manitous, good fun, easy to handle yacht.

Nice back-pedalling Meg! I think the guy is advertising an as is where is sale. No cosmetic or camouflaging of hidden defects. A very fair advertisement of what you would find on closer inspection!

Do I have to change my avatar again?
