Funny EJO mentions 5 grand that's what was offered before I made my offer and the owner flat out refused it. I offered 16 grand with a view to drop her to 10 with the Survey's punch list. Hope it works out... The bulkheads I don't mind doing in fact anything I can get done without her being on the hard I don't mind doing actually we were going to ask for some advice on good scarfing cuts that offer resistance to loadsl. Portland is bloody expensive all the do it your self yards must have beer flowing through their pressure washers and little elves that run round fixing things while your out sourcing materials, for the prices their charging I have to get that boat down river before we can work on the hull. It'll be worth it, the E 39 is often forgotten about when in the shadows of the great old IOR's but she's a contender if any of you ever sailed one you'll know what I'm on about. Not to mention flush decks are just more fun.. Thanks for all your support and advice.

Myt bet is that if you have a good surveyor, the value will drop to a lot less than $10,000...unless the offer recognizes the existing known faults, in which case you can't negotiate them when the surveyor tells what the repairs will really cost...plus more.
My bet...if you get a survey...you will never buy this boat.
