Cool ship but can you imagine what it would cost to keep it docked,
not to mention insured so you can dock it somewhere?

Limited hull work, sandblast and painting for my old boat is about
$500,000 every ten years or so.

For listings like this it's worth getting a monthly subscription to
"Boats and Harbors" by the same people who publish "Trade-a-Plane".
It's published three times a month but you can get a once a month
subscription for about $15 per year.

If nothing else, it's a great reference source.
