Guys,

A friend of mine called me yesterday and said he has acquired a 1977 58 Yachtfish that is a victim of Florence. It was run up the cape fear and anchored. Apparently it rode out the storm but broke the anchor loose and settled to the side of the river. As the water receded it rested on its port side and got 2-3 ft of water in the port side as the river crested again a few days later.

A barge came to lift the boat and didn't do a good job as it was lifted. The port side in the cockpit area was damaged as well as the port side overhang of the flybridge. The boat was towed/floated back to a slip in Wilmington.

I looked at it yesterday to get my list of parts I want off the boat. If anyone has any need for parts off a 58 yachtfish feel free to PM me and I can connect you with the current owner. I believe they intend to lift it out of the water by week's end and will begin to cut her up.

Its sad to see these boats end up like this.
