Some users were not so enthusiastic about the find.
“As a doctor who sees cases of mold-related health problems, I strongly recommend that you wear an N95 mask when entering these types of places,” one person wrote.
Boats can hide huge problems very effectively,” another noted. ‘If it has been sitting there may be moisture in the stringers, in which case the boat is effectively worthless. It wouldn’t necessarily sink, it just wouldn’t be worth fixing.”
But others called it the find of a lifetime.
“As a retired marine master technician and lifelong avid water sports enthusiast, I would totally talk about that boat.”
“It’s probably abandoned because it’s an expensive vessel to dock and maintain, but it’s an easy five-figure freebee if you can get it operational. Fantastic find.’
