No Jack, Counter with something higher than you'll settle for. He may come back with a better offer. He likes your boat.

My boat was a pretty far cry from being neglected as well. The cabin's teak had just been re-oiled, Galley sink had a brand new shiny faucet, cushions had just been cleaned and in very good nick, sails appeared in decent shape etc, etc, etc. We all looked at the boat and all exclaimed OMG it's gorgeous.. I had it pre-purchase inspected and surveyed both.. My list is not near as long as yours although it's only over 12 months.. So far. But what I shared is actually a fraction of what I've spent on the boat in the past year. That was just a "For Instance" as a warning. Those boats are demanding mistresses my friends, demanding mistresses: Very pretty, ego stroking, entertaining, exciting, DEMANDING. Regards, -Francois 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, Georgia. Read it and weep: < http://www.wbryant.com/temp/refurbcost.pdf > or read it and laugh. Or laugh and weep. Or drink tequila and don't worry about it... The amazing thing is that I did most of the work myself, and very little of it was cosmetic. That was intentional. The boat is structurally sound enough to survive anything that *I'm* structurally sound enough to survive, but if thieves are cruising by in a panga trying to decide which boat to break into, they'll probably choose somebody else. BTW, the boat that started this thread is not a neglected boat in any book.
