 |  |  | | “Hide Aweigh” is being sold by owner which should, generally, avoid sales tax, but you
should check your own state's revenue department requirements.
The boat was purchased in March, 2007 by the present owner.
It was surveyed by two
of the best in the state of FL-recommended by the financing entity.
The survey was the
basis for many upgrades which necessitated a substantial investment.
The survey
upgrades were done by professionals in their field in Florida.
More upgrades were done
over the winter on the Tenn-Tom waterway in Mississippi where the boat is currently
berthed.
The trip to MS from FL crossed the gulf, used the intercoastal and the TT
waterway.
Many other upgrades were done to owner liveaboard specs.

Before upgrades this boat has an estimated replacement value of $600,000
with an estimated fair market value of $150,000.
The work planned by the
new owner should raise the value from $190,000 to $200,000 based, also, on
the price of new boats in 2007 and 2008 and the asking prices of like kind
boats in the Florida area.

Excerpts from Survey Narrative:
Determination of the value and condition of this vessel is based upon the owner’s compliance
to all of the recommendations sited.
This vessel appears in good condition for age and type reflecting good care & maintenance by
its present owner(s).
As far as may be ascertained from a general overall examination of said vessel while hauled
out, afloat, and on a trial run, without making removals or opening up parts normally
concealed, it is the opinion of the surveyor that the hull, machinery and equipment are in
apparent good condition, over and above recommendations, at this inspection.
Vessel meets CG, NFPA and ABYC standards.
In my opinion this vessel appears very favorable & in compliance with applicable
recommendations on all survey points.
Present Owner Notes: The survey quoted in part in this spec sheet was the basis
for over $40,000 worth of upgrades from electronics to physical plant.
The present owners had planned to retire in 2-3 years and “liveaboard” while
traveling and exploring this great countries' waterways.
The shallow draft of this
boat gives the owner of it the ability to go where other boats of this size may not.
But those plans have changed.
It, therefore, is with deep regret that the owner and
his wife now offer this boat for sale after owning it for only one year and
upgrading it to its' present condition.
The price ($185k) only covers the cost of the boat and upgrades.
It is a firm price
as the owners do enjoy using the boat as a condo on the water at its present
location and are under no pressure to sell this boat.
The present owners believe
that this boat is one of the great bargains in boating today.
However, your own
surveyor is invited to inspect the boat at any time at your expense.
