Would buy IFOriginally Posted by Delorean02378
it had engines
it didn't look like it was about to sink
had even a remotely attractive shape
I actually had room for a 57 foot yacht...
They've been trying to sell this thing for years. I hope they do sell it, but it's gonna be hard to find someone with room for a 57 foot project yacht...

Pretty interesting. She sure does need some work, though.

My requirements are even less than that. If it were a good bit closer to me and I had proof it was DeLorean's boat, I'd buy it immediately at that price. Even if I took ten years to fix it up, I'd have a badass boat in ten years.

Agree, unfortunately the cost of transportation would be as much as buying the boat. It would definitely (how'd you like that spelling Accipiter)be a cool story though. Drive up to the lake/ocean in your Delorean and get on John Delorean's old boat. Obviously the name of the boat would be DMC-12 or maybe Living The Dream!

The very phrase "project boat" gives me nightmares.
What little I know about boats can be summed up in two points
1. They are a huge money pit, and
2. They are a huge money pit.
Technically that's just one point, but it's so important it's worth mentioning twice.
And that's starting off with a good one. Restoring this one would make a Delorean resto look like pocket change.

You forgot that the more the boat is in the water, the faster the cash is out of your wallet.
There are a few boats that I love; vintage wooden ones, for example, and I have a 1956 Aero-Craft with a matching Mercury Mark 30 Turbo-4 outboard. Every time I go to use it, despite storing it properly, there's always a few hundred dollars of expenses just to get it water-worthy. I keep it more out of sentimental attachment, as that was the first vehicle I purchased and I have a lot of good memories with that boat; that being said, I would never buy another boat again in my life.
