thanks peeps, appreciate your replies -useful indeed
yeah looks like i'll need a survey
-got a mate who rebuilds/welds boats in newbury and he's promised come out have a look soon
the boats up for £15k, but i'm dont think i'll interested in rebuilding her if thats a likely
it dont look like its been out the water for awhile, so yeah, may be full of surprises!
(i was involved with rebuilding a 40' de-groot coastal mv, abt 30yrs ago, so got some knowledge)
i'll wait til mate visits, he works in dry dock in newbury and been doing it all his life, so he'd prob my best bet
i'll drop a note here and let you know : )
respect and thanks for now
paul
