....while I was trying to decide on which boat to build and before I ordered plans for it....an add on craigslist got my attention. Someone was selling a precut marine plywood kit for the very same hull I was considering.... asking $500.
I was still undecided... then the add reappeared at a new lower price of $300. It was a two hour ride and when I got there the seller showed me a pile of indistinguishable dust covered plywood in the garage. She explained that her recently divorced husband was always starting things he couldnt finish.
I hesitated.. then told her I would give her $200 .... she said "sure I just want it gone". I loaded the large pile of plywood parts into my truck and left quickly...
Turns out there was a large piece of the sole missing....cost me $100 for a sheet of marine ply to replace..... .advertised price for the kit is over $3,000..... so it was a deal...or as my buddy likes to remind me.... a steal.
I felt a little bad for the guy...
