I would say THIS particular aspect is a GOOD thing - for me. Since I am currently looking for a boat that will suit our needs. Thus, if I can find something that needs cleaning and work that I can do myself on, and get it for "under market" but still have a boat that is usable for us, then this is a veyr good thing.
The neglect one person heaps upon an object can always be a benefit for someone else later. Certainly, the total destruction of a good boat is a bad thing.
But at the same time a person who can not take the time, and won't take the time to care for his boat should give it up to someone who can.
