It's a steal. They just reduced the price by $10,000 Although I think this one is running a real close second.

I disagree, this one is more on the "unfortunate" side. The first one I am not sure looked any better when it was shiny-n-new.

If she floats she's beautiful in my eyes....(I don't think the second one floats)


It has some nice interior teak

ilnadi - After reading your comment, I agree it is unfortunate rather than ugly. So I went and found another example:

Ugly, unfortunate and SAD! Is this what happens to a Bayliner Bucaneer when it grows up?

OH, I thought he meant any MacGregor qualified as an ugly boat. Must be my prejudice. :)

Does this count? It wasn't ungly until someone fixed it.

They actually screwed the plywood to the deck with drywall screws.

Happy D,

That last "UGLY BOAT" appears to have been a Herman schooner. What a calamity! Dockside 500 berths, SQUIRE, a marvelous Herman Schooner, a preferred inland/bay cruiser. To think that the boat depicted might have been restored to the stately Squire's persona is maddening. I'm beyond restoring boats, but I think I might be into doing a Herman.
Where was that picture taken? And what do you know about the boat?

This boat isn't a Schooner. It is a production racing boat. I can't understand what theywere doing here. There is also a large piece of fiberglass epoxied to the fore deck. Notice the holes drilled through the outer skin, no dought to put epoxy in. This boat was in Lake Charles ,LA. The hurricane came through not long after I took these pictures.


I took a picture of this mast repair. It is a wooden mast that broke at the deck. It was repaired using a treated 4x4 post and 1/4" x 4" steel strap. Lots of lag bolts and she's ready to go!
This is a beautiful little ketch. The young man that bought it was in love with this boat. I have lots more pictures. This baby needs lots of work.

The young man that owned this boat was going to Iraq for a year. God Bless Him and all the people over there!

I told him the best thing he could do was to haul this boat to his brothers house and store it there until he returned. I helped him seal the forward hatch so the rain would not flow down the deck and right into the cabin. I'm sure this boat sank during the hurricane.
Yes, that is a giant crack running up the corner of the mast.
Big piece of plywood epoxied in the deck to patch a hole.
This kind of stuff breaks my heart.

Hi Dan,

At the rick of sounding insensitive to another sailors project boat, I think all woud be better off if that boat didn't survive hurricane K.

A little "Jewish Lightning" would help.
