Sea Nymph Project boat

[tmarston2010]

Hi All,

I was offered a free boat...the term free always scares me when it used with boat. I would always say free is for me. But I am looking for some guidance on this boat.
I just looked at it today:
Yellow Sea Nymph (17-19ft)
120 HP Merc
I have no idea on the model of sea nymph yet, has no visible model names from under the tarp. I was told it hasn't run in 5 years. The trim for the motor is compromised. The trailer needs new tires. Other than those few things I know nothing about it.
Any feedback or warnings as to whether or not this is a feasible project? Or should I just bide my time and wait for the right deal?

WAIT unless being paid to haul away. Sitting outside unused for 5 years. Interior indicates more problems with the floor and everything under it.

Unless you have a huge BANK account, want to spend about a year of weekends and are really in love with that boat ......then go ahead. I would politely say NO THANK YOU and walk away.

That is a money pit and I see a TREMENDOUS amount of work needed. My advice is to PASS on it

What is going on, is the owner is looking for someone to haul it off for him, so he does not have to pay someone to do it. I would say, no thanks, not quite what I am looking for.
