I wintered at a tiny little port on the north shore of Lake Erie this winter. This boat is the biggest here and is for sale - US$10 would buy it.
It appears to be in very good shape, has had a fresh water life and caring owners. Used mostly as a summer home but fully operational.
I found myself thinking that there might be a case for putting two small diesels - say 80 HP - and turning this into a loop boat? Or is it just headed into local oblivion? The right DIY owner could have a super solid reliable boat for < 40k.
