Derelict Triton

I found an apparently abandoned Triton today at a marina in Hampton, VA. It was the proverbial derelict boat sitting in the weeds in the back of the yard. Looked like someone had begun restoration years ago and lost interest. The hull seems OK although there are a couple places where FG repairs were made but not faired or painted. What little I could see of the deck looked pretty bad. There are no hatchboards and boat is open to the elements. Mast looked pretty good, rudder was good, and most of the ports were there. The shaft opening had been glassed over. Gotta believe someone could get this one for nothing if they were willing to haul it out of there.

If anyone's interested, drop me a note.
