Our offer was accepted on a Morgan 382! The boat is in fabulous condition, but still needs a bit of work. Fortunately she doesn’t need repairs, just finishing. Kirk and I do kind of like the idea of finishing out the systems ourselves. The woodworking, on the other hand, couldn’t be further above our heads. The level of craftsmanship of the interior (which the owner has spent the last ten years redoing) is way beyond our skill set.
We come to an agreement with Jack, the owner/seller: He finishes the woodworking projects before closing, and we finish the rest. With a month to go before closing, Kirk and I aren’t about to sit around twiddling our thumbs. We dive headfirst into our list of projects for the boat. Our biggest items include plumbing the freshwater system and designing a propane system.
A few weeks into our work in the yard, we learn some terrible news. As a result, this boat purchase doesn’t go according to plan.
Hope you enjoy!
Lauren & Kirk
