I don't think Mc Nautical will be applying some how 
She might learn more that she needed .
probably Mcnatuaical would be cleaning most of of the trip.
The gem fish well maybe the boats more of a reef to attract fish south ace
OMG! Certainly could do with a woman's touch! Although I think any woman would be afraid of being buried alive under a mound of refuse in a seaway or impaled on a fork or butter knife in some freak accident, like those hoarders who are found dead in their homes years after they die. Not that it's not a nice Manitou an' all and I'm sure it's all just extremely useful, rainy day, must have, essential items

Ha Ha Ha Meg
I also did not mean to offend any Manitou owners also just though any boat in that condition could be a possible reef/fish attractor
Id love to buy a few box full of those plastic baskets he has I could screw them all over my boat . Id say South Ace would want a link also
Be excellent for your beer half full ones all over the boat pick up any for a quick guzzle 
1st rule of attracting a female to your boat/pad or dungeon: clean it up before you take the photos!

Might be able to help you out with that link HG .
I think Id need at least 100 of those baskets meg so I can put my hiding marker pens , screw drivers spanners sand paper and lots of other things I put down and can never find them till a few days later 
Or like today a jig saw blade that Id put away so I could find it when I needed it . I still do know where I put the bl**d thing
HG if I bought that I would give you the blue baskets!! :), I'm still waiting on someone to buy me a Catalina 28 MKII, what with Christmas just around the corner and all
Why the derogatory tone from posters to this guys advertisements? It seems, and I am only going on my interpretation of advice given to other inquiries regarding purchase of a first boat, that this particular vessel would be eminently suitable as a first boat and is priced at or near its value.
And it does have two Bukh diesels to go. Wasn't there an earlier thread on here about the economic value of purchasing a spare Bukh for rebuild. You actually nearly get this boat for free and only pay for the engines.

its not the boat its the clutter inside and the blue baskets Frant it does have solar panel plus many kero lamps inside
the first add wanted female crew and then the sell on the boat
Maybe the owner thought he'd get a female to clean it and then put it on the market

Nice back-pedalling Meg! I think the guy is advertising an as is where is sale. No cosmetic or camouflaging of hidden defects. A very fair advertisement of what you would find on closer inspection!
