57' Chris Connie (wood) FREE on craigslist

Isn't there a saying along the lines of "anything free is worth what you pay for it" ?

Probably. Though, I had a chance to pick a 43(?) up here and I passed since I had no place to keep it at the time.

Hi,

Think recycling, you should be able extract quite a lot of firewood out of one of these old girls.

If it is beyond salvation it is better to enjoy the warmth it could provide than drop it all into a landfill don't you think?

Not sure a cord ($190) or two of wood covered in lead (and whatever else) paint is worth the effort.

Hi,

I didn't actually look at the advert till just now, by the description and the price I thought it would be a pile of old wood, the boat doesn't actually look that beatup.

Maybe the guy who has the porked 8V 53 in his Bertram on another thread would like a couple of 8V 71's for free.
