    There have been many comments on YF relating to similar trawlers. Try the search button and I think you will find the answers you need.

    The boat is, to put it politely, a fixer upper. Unless you're handy, fixing up runs about $115/hr plus materials. And once you've fixed her up, you will still have a 35 year old boat.

    The cost of maintaining an older 60' boat can be considerable. But the cost of buying one can be a bargain. This can be intoxicating. And we all know where being intoxicated can lead.
