Any thoughts? Seems like if you got this thing for less than asking (I hear maybe half?) that maybe you could part it out and make some dough...

"The yacht went through a $1.2M Refit - Completed in 2006", for $100k buy-it-nowor up for bid.

Wow, "The bigger they are the harder they fall". MM

Gorgeous wood work classic lines. There must be a story behind that yacht. Hopefully not a sad one.

Thoughts? I think anyone who right off the bat wants to part her out should have a fresh dent in his or her forehead. (If the boat is in same condition as pictured)

Now that is funny.:smt043And very very true.:smt038

That's not a boat- it's a hobby!

Beautiful!

i think she is ugly as hell and would have no desire to be her captain. but if it really had 1.2 mil in upgrades a few years ago and it had been for sale that whole time with the price dropping from 450 to 250 to 110 to now maybe 50... sure the economy isnt perfect, but c'mon...

Big wooden boats are not a hobby, they are a full time job.

Photos of the older designs never do them justice. Climb on one of them and its like being in a woodworker's museum.....they are absolutely beautiful.

But, been there, done that, and got the T-shirt........mine was only 36 ft and it was a real challenge to keep up with everything she needed to look right, much less maintaining positive bouancy.

this is being sold by the school I went to (USMMA, King Point)... When I was there we would get donated or confiscated yachts and sell them for much less than the were worth just to get rid of them. It seems to me to well worth the investment. I have a classmate who works there and get you anyone interested in this boat the inside story... Just PM me...

I would be all over this boat if it wasn't 100% wood, or if I was retired and had the time to keep it up.

Friends of ours had a smaller Pacemaker. They are absolutely beautiful in terms of construction and interior. Frank is 100% right keeping one up is a full time job. It really is a labor of love.
