I bought my boat from the estate of a friend's wife. Her father had passed away unexpectedly and the boat was sold pretty much as he had it that day. Some of the interesting things I got in the deal:
Every time I open a new cabinet I haven't been in yet, or crawl into a space I haven't been I seem to find something. I suspect Dave is looking down and laughing at me every time.
- Found a spare set of props and shafts under the master bed floor
- His entire library of nautical books (100+) in the converted bunkroom / office
- $57 so far hidden in the pages of those books (he used small bills as place marks at times)
- 2 new sets of injectors hanging in the engine room behind the genset
- Original logbook and blueprints from 1979 (entries through about 1987)
- Full toolbox and many totes of spare parts and consumables
