Save-A-Boat - The Forum for Plastic Classic Rebuilds!

Went looking at a couple of boats today. Found some real POS boats also.

Enjoy. not!

Obviously no 'Pride of Ownership' here and, it would appear sailing is not their passion either ... just a cheaper way to live (survive?). ... "We" of course, do not know the circumstances of these folk or, whether or not they may have fallen prey to the current state of the economy. If that be the case I feel for them but, there's definitely no excuse for filth.

Nope, GALENA, MD

The Galena, MD, that we drive through to Rock Hall is landlocked. Nearest water is the Sassafras at Georgetown, a couple miles north on 213.

This poor sad thing looks like she's made of ferrocement, judging by the lack of detail and the unfair-ness of the shape. Concrete is not really good enough for sidewalks, let alone boats.

Same one. The marina obviously is not located in the town but a few miles NE. Lots of derelicts.

Wish I had taken some pics of a couple of the boats in the marina where the seller of my boat had kept here. There was one bleach bottle boat with at least 6 inches of thick, soupy green water in the cockpit and 6 inches of growth on everything, including the docklines.

There's one in my marina that looks like a good wind will knock the cabin off the boat - at least the parts of it that have not been replaced with big hunks of Home Depot-grade sheathing plywood. The rest of it is so massively rotten, you can directly into the cabin - and not through a window. It's probably held together mostly by the termites holding hands.
