It says $120,000 now. They must have caught their mistake
 
It’s 120,000.00 not 12,000.00
 
Isn't that 120K?

You could not cut it up for scrap and get 12K, I don't think.

If you want to build yourself a Feadship, here's your hull, to start with. \\

Sad to see it like this. This was some rich person's pride and joy way back when. It could tell you some stories, I'll bet.
 
I think you miscounted the zero's.... looks like 120 K to me.

About 20 years ago a friend of mine bought a 110' steel hull MY that needed to be finished but it ran.
He took a crew with him to the Virgin Islands and proceeded to cruise it home to NJ. After about 6 weeks
they finally arrived. To call it a fun trip would be a joke. Long story short, it sat at his marina for about
19 years (in the water most of the time) and was never completed. After he died his kids had to hire
a scrap company to cut it up and remove it, by order of the Department of Environmental Protection.
Be very careful what you wish for.

I looked on the Feadship Heritage web site, but I could not find her.
 
"Just needs engines and a paint job."
 
Oops, got the price wrong. Guess I shouldn't post pass my bedtime........
 
91 foot waterline and only 18' beam, no wonder it only needed a pair of 12/71Ns to reach 12kts: it's practically a canoe!
 
Beautiful Yachts
 
Youd hafta marry either one of them ws
 
There was a Feadship very similar to this kicking around Ft Lauderdale for a few years with a pair of CATS in her. A 102' I think. She needed a total refit of the $1million plus variety. Unless you could find an owner with very deep pockets bringing a boat like this back is not possible. Someone with limited experience and a budget could not get it done. She is worth saving though, I would not recommend cutting it up because you do not have the vision. There are a Buch of old classic Feadships out there that have had massive amounts of care and money thrown at them and they are some of most beautiful boats ever built. They have a classic Feadship registry.
This is the type of work being done.

I find this listing very entertaining; it is an enjoyable advertising piece. It actually says very little about the boat and its equipment. Note that DAF diesels would be a service problem here in USA, if you could even get the boat here.

Most boats look great if you polish them up, put a beautiful woman in the photos, and add all those rich boy props; I'm not clear on the tomatoes, though. The listing is fun to look at. No one seriously shopping for a boat would pay much attention to it, unless it motivated them to ask for more info on this boat.

As to turning the derelict yacht in FL into one in this condition, good luck. Two million dollars wouldn't even get you to the finish line.

I agree........ There are lots of older megayachts available at very low prices but as Jim notes, the cost
of bringing them back is prohibitive to all but the very well heeled, and those folks would rather just
have a new one built or buy a fairly current model ready to go. Pretty much like most of us feel except
for the amount of Zero's after the dollar sign.... Just as the market for boats in most of our size range
has diminished, the mega ranges have shrunk even more...

As long as the topic is a steel boat, I have been wondering if the claims I have read in the glossy magazines of the low maintenance of steel construction in these days of two-part epoxy polymer coatings are realistic? Will a good system applied as per directions really keep you from chipping and painting constantly to keep the red streaks away?
