Teak Deck - probably cost 50K just to fix that. (I used to have a teak deck) Fixed it with an air operate chisel and put down some ply which I glassed over. My dreams of having a boat with a Teak deck met reality.

I am in full agreement with C and J on this one and would rather call it a financial suicide. Picture your wife's face looking at it first time?
One should not tuch it with a sixty foot barge pole. It reminds me of my two years quest looking for a yacht to buy. I have seen the mooring minders between Adelaide and Sunshine Coast and what a disappointment it was!
This yacht is in that category. Worth - if lucky -it's hull?
Just think about the waste of money and resources keeping it tied up. And there are tens of thousands like this around. Some people got much more money than sense...

if no one has been bothered to tie the boat to the dock properly ,to stop the gellcoat being torn back to the glass .

then one can only imagine what the engine and other systems are like . not run or oil changed for 6 - 10 years ?

when boats are let go likes this, its a real shame , because to find someone willing to spend the time and money is almost impossible .

Anyone looking for a 40 foot project yacht? This Dunc 40 has been untouched and for sale for the past 6 years.....shes up for a good lick of paint and a few minor repairs....I think I could get them down to the 50k bracket! Let me know if you would like me to arrange a inspection for you. :)

Hey southace, tell your mate the owner that I have a mate who will give him $5,000 cash for the boat if your mate or you will deliver it to Bundaberg.

Hi all

I personally think it is a bit difficult to put a realistic value on this boat based on the photo's and the information that was posted

Regards Don

I agree Don. I could not find where it's advertised but saw several others that the owners are asking a heap of money for. Still think it has good bones and even if it needs a full rebuild on the engine it can all be done by a pensioner with time on their hands economically. The teak decks look good, just dirty but you will always have the concern that they will not last long if not cared for and an expensive job down the way. I would use it as it is then when worn sand down an lay up epoxy and glass and paint. The topsides scarring is only a minor problem.

What about a link to the ad southace? Way too big for me but there will be a buyer out there, there always is.
