Newbie BARGAIN BOAT warning 2 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 3  
Over the years part of our focus has been to caution newbies on the pitfalls of purchasing old steel, and wood _frame_d glass boats without having someone knowledgeable giving them guidance. The following thread is a sad situation from our RiverQueen section below.


http://www.houseboatingworld.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,28/topic,2885.0/

Many old boats, BOTH STEEL AND GLASS, are past economical restoration. The owners try to sell them cheap to get out of disposal, dockage/storage costs. They prey on newbies who don't know any better.

Hi There:

So, what was the outcome with Cinthia and her rusted out RQ?

Thanks,
