Went to check out a 1970 DSII that was listed dirt cheap online. Did a walk around. Boat was definitely a project, but seemed solid. Last time it was registered was 2014, been sitting outside since then.
After talking with the seller, we realized the title is missing, no trailer registration paperwork, and while there were four nice crisp sails included, all of them were clearly not the right size for this boat. So we negotiated an even lower price to make up for the anticipated headaches.
After selling three of the sails, I've more than made up for the final purchase price. So essentially she's a free boat. And I know what you're thinking, there's no such thing as a free boat!
Right now the boat is sitting in locked private storage. Has a flat tire and needs trailer lights replaced before I can tow her home.
I'll check back in here as the journey continues to see just how much this free boat's gonna cost me .
