90% I will be there too. Not so much for shopping big boats, but to wander around and run into old friends, shoot the breeze and oogle eye-candy....
Sent a message to the owner, via the broker. If he takes it to a reputable yard, have all the big issues fixed, with receipts and a re-survey,...
Unfortunately the results speak for themselves. That being said, the Captain probably consulted with his senior officers and with the shipping...
Not being snarky Mr. Pascal, I know you built your own boat and hat off to you Sir. My expertise, if any is (was) to maintain a CSY 33 sailboat so...

As per the surveyor, not me. The $6k was for cutting open and fixing known damage, the 3' delaminated area under the water line and the 2 transom...
Yup, but limited damage, nothing that $6k could not fix. The powerplant could be more serious. Don't want no project, I just may walk away or do...
I had an Albin 28TE surveyed and sea-trialed today. Not only was equipment not working, single hose clamps below the water line, 3-foot section...
Nope, he has not read about it, but will point him to this site, he has other boats, big ones and will probably enjoy Yachtforums.
Sold. To a gentleman 1000 miles North of me, unseen. A boat transport company picked it up today. Had 2 nice years cruising around Fort Lauderdale...
Yup, heard about that. Bad idea. Those MBAs are too stupid to see where us blue-color guys are coming from and what we would like to see in a...
Could be the controller. On my boat, Duffy charge $1,600 for the controller but I found it on-line for $500 new and $350 refurbished. Had to send...
