Flew in to Seattle to look at a 1979 CPMY. Pics on line looked nice. In person it was so derelict I didn’t even board it. Save your time and money and avoid this old girl. I’ve seen Bayliners abandoned in better condition. The search continues. The broker who is a nice guy and who was the Captain of the boat for 10 years told me as we were walking up to the boat the prior owner did maintenance on a shoe string budget. It showed. Would have been nice to know that before coming up. Oh well

I looked at the photos. As you say, she looks pretty nice in them; looking at them, I would not have guessed that she would look so ratty in 'person'. A shame.

As a retired yacht broker, I suggest you make this “ nice guy” reimburse your expenses at the minimum. He’s a total liar by omission , as he didn’t tell you it’s true condition. For the life of me, I don’t understand the thinking of those total losers who even accept rat listing to begin with.

Re: 1979 Hatteras CPMY 86 feet Seattle $395,000
I found this to be the case in most boats we looked at. Pic's supplied were typically several years old from when the boat "looked good".
It's a shame they do this. I learned to ask "how recent are the pic's". Not that you should have to.
If I ever get in the boat buying mode again I think I would pay for a "live walkaround" before actually going to see a boat that isn't near by. Sad sales practice for sure.1980 53' Hatteras MY, Hull # 592

I would think if the broker really wanted to sell the boat they would be happy to do a FaceTime walkthrough. And if they didn’t I would prob scratch it off my list if it were far away.

It’s going to get worse. These boats we love are old and no longer cool. They’re falling into the hands of people who can afford the hull but not the rigging as the saying goes. Too many YOLO people that have out run their money.
