    A famous boat--and I have also seen her for sale in the last year. But what a
    lot of work--since there was a major problem in 1994, where the boat was
    basically rebuilt--I suspect that there is residual from that repair which has
    caused some recent problems. My personal preference would not be galvanized
    spikes--especially if the spikes were of Asian origin. The boat needs
    refastening, recaulking, probably some rot in frames (guess) and perhaps in
    cabin/deck beams.
    The machinery sounds like it is worth what the price is. I thin you would be
    looking at over 50K just to get the boat back in the water and running. To
    bring it up to first class condition--who knows? My boat was next to
    Nathenial Bowditch for about 4 years--and I know what the work was on keeping
    her up.

    There is a bit more about her at:

    But the specific page is now gone from the web site.
