Hey Smack, Ya but are you going or is anyone going to say that boat was in good condition. Looks to me they never did one damn thing to her. The decks are rotten. Chain plates don't pull out like that unless the boat is the pits. People are crazy.And here's a nice traditional boat with the chainplates completely ripped out:

No, I certainly wouldn't go that far. It's a lot like REBEL HEART was in that regard.Hey Smack, Ya but are you going or is anyone going to say that boat was in good condition.

I'm not sure what you saw on that boat that led you to this conclusion. The decks don't look necessarily rotten to me. They look wet.Hey Smack, Ya but are you going or is anyone going to say that boat was in good condition. Looks to me they never did one damn thing to her. The decks are rotten.

Yep, thats what happens when a whole chainplate assembly is ripped through a deck.Looked like big holes to me thru the decks at likely chain plate locations . . . . as if they pulled right up and out, look closely I could be wrong . . . .
Can't get away from that. Its the coin of the realm for the 'internet experts'.Using the chainplate failure as the evidence of obvious disrepair is 'circular reasoning'...
Looks like he would fit right in with the 5 month cruise gals.I suppose this qualifies...
