Thank you. We are quite thrilled. It is a great boat in need of a little TLC and the replacement of the oil pan. For that price we are not complaining. It's our dream boat.

Cannot thank you enough for taking the time to do this! I'm currently in the market for a good boat. While my budget is still currently a running number, I'll be paying very close attention to your blog.

Thanks again!

Great deal here on a Wauquiez pretorien $25k. She looks like she needs some work, but definitely a great deal.

You'd have to buy that Pretorien for less than $10k to make it qualify as a great boat at a great price. As it stands now it would need $35K - $45K in refit to bring it up to standard. It is much better to buy a boat like this after someone else has spent crazy $$$ refitting it.

Here's a good model going for almost half of the others listed. With some improvements and maintenance it may push the 40K mark but still looks like a good deal.

If timing was slightly better, I would be taking a real hard look.

I see a pretty good project boat opportunity. If is it advertised honestly it seems to be a lot of laborious work (painting and bright work) and not a lot of structural stuff.

You get that for $20 and put $15 in and a bunch of labor and you probably have a hell of a boat.

What's got you turned off about it?
