I don't think Mc Nautical will be applying some how She might learn more that she needed .
probably Mcnatuaical would be cleaning most of of the trip.
The gem fish well maybe the boats more of a reef to attract fish south ace

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 .

Ha Ha Ha Meg
I also did not mean to offend any Manitou owners also just though any boat in that condition could be a possible reef/fish attractor
Id love to buy a few box full of those plastic baskets he has I could screw them all over my boat . Id say South Ace would want a link also

Be excellent for your beer half full ones all over the boat pick up any for a quick guzzle

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.

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.

its not the boat its the clutter inside and the blue baskets Frant it does have solar panel plus many kero lamps inside

the first add wanted female crew and then the sell on the boat

Maybe the owner thought he'd get a female to clean it and then put it on the market

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!
