Oh, probably. Caveat emptor and all that. But occasionally it has been known that some old guy with hermit tendencies works on a boat for years to a high degree of fit and finish, and then gets sick and/or dies, leaving the "project" to non-sailing kin. Were this to happen when the old guy originally decided to sell, and continued when the heirs were calling the shots, I can easily see the price falling like a stone just to avoid paying the coming winter's yard fees.

Or it's a piece of crap.
