bottom feeder

I am a bottom feeder. I buy my cars at auction and I bought my boat at auction last year. It was a Katrina damaged boat I bought site unseen ( except for ebay pictures) off of ebay. When I got it delivered I thought I screwed up. Keel was hanging off to one side and hull had huge cracks. I did not sink but was a mess. I spent a year working on bottom and rebuilding interior but I now enjoy her sailing on the weekends. I got the boat for 12k and put about 20k into her. The boat is a Gulfstar 41 aux 1975. Market value about 50k. But I bought with intent to sail not sell.
