Default Re: 27' Moesly Flybridge to CC Conversion

That boat was for sale for $1500 back in '95. The boat was the "Raven", and it sank at the dock at Anchorage Yacht Basin in Melbourne. The owner had just finished installing two new engines the say before it sank, but managed to tear the new bellows on one drive. I raised it the same day, pickled the engines and forklifted it to an outside rack, where it sat for 4 years. Six months later, Suntrust bank turned down my offer of $500, even though it was costing the bank $145 a month to sit on the rack at the marina. I guess they wanted their $1500.
In '99, it was moved to Grant, Florida, where both the engines and drives were removed, and it was listed for sale on projectboats.net for $500 or best offer. I don't know who Gary at Project boats sold it to, but I heard it sold for only $200 back in '02.
