Just saw this in an e-mail from one of the listservs I'm on.
It's a storm damaged boat, but if you are willing to take a risk and work on it... you can have it for what it costs to get it out of there. A Morgan 38 is not a bad boat, and if you've got the skills, time and inclination to take on a project, this might be an interesting one. I haven't seen the boat, and don't know George, but thought that some enterprising soul on here might want to take a stab at it.

My poor boat got beached by Katrina in the FL Keys in 2005. It's way on my rocky beach with hull damage on one side, repaired damage on the other. It's a good project boat for someone. It needs to be lifted with a crane and trucked out or patched on site and launched by a crane on a barge. If someone wants it, you'll have to take it away fast - neighbor's threatening to sue me over it. For parts and sails, roller furling, etc. those I'll sell separately at good prices if nobody wants the whole boat. It's a 1971 CM, nothing fancy, no electronics, just a plain old boat. Someone with more time than I have could get this classic back in the water where it belongs. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to let the county take it off to the glue factory, as I just don't have the time to deal with it all. If anyone's interested, please contact me right away, as I don't have much time to find it a good home. I'd much rather have it sailing somewhere than have it dumped.
I'll take some pics and answer any questions. Winches are good, sails good, mast good, Profurl roller furling good to very good, autopilot still in box. Tell your friends!

P.S. If you do get the boat, let me know how it turns out, I'd be interested to find out.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
