You paid too much for this project boat, but not for you passion. This is not boat to make a profit.

Sorry to say, but anything more than 1€ is too much for that rust bucket.
Sell the equipment you can and scrap the hull. You will spend too much money on it that you can never get back. It will continue to create problems and leaks given how bad, unsafe and rusty the hull is.

You guys have ignored all the big red flags and yes the other ships you've looked at where dumpsters too.
-That boat was listed for 170k and you had bought it for 70k... that's a 100k red flag!
- the fucking Netherlands??? Ships are 20% more expensive in the Netherlands and during a pandemic its even worse. Thats a financial red flag.
- the last owner was an artist, artists are know to be free spirited and the ship had a serveer lack of maintenance due to this freedom. A massive red flag.

Whoever told you that engine is 10k worth is a walking red flag!
I'm sorry but even in running condition it is €1500 at best, a €1000 for the gearbox and €2000 for the generator.
State of the ship when you bought it was probably 0,25 cent per kilograms worth and an extra €1000 for emotional value. Anything above that price is what you've paid to much...

I don't want to burst your bubble but you guys fell in love with a pile of rust, a beautiful lined full of magnificent history pile of rust.
I hope you realise this will be a 10 year project if the both of you can complete it.
Wishing you guys nothing but love and luck.

If my comment seems a bit harsh just remember I've been sailing all my life and a Dutchie so I'm blunt AF

Something I would like to know and I'm sure it would be of interest to others. Have you ever met any of the ships old crew and if so would they be willing to talk to us.

If had 600k to spend on a boat id buy a decent cat and be done with it. The hull of your boat is going to keep haunting you im afraid.

It's amazing how far you've come.
Don't give up, everyday is one step closer to be cruising the blue waters.

Barbara and Daniel, you never bought a project but are investing in a home and lifestyle. If you look at what you have done so far, this can be the only conclusion. Enjoy and keep on.

I’ve been here and done that, things always look different looking back. You actually become a different and hopefully better person going through such a project, and the value of that is immeasurable. So no I don’t think you paid too much, just adjust what it is you value.

For our 50ft wooden boat, I have estimate 5 min for each piece of wood pulled out of the boat and 1-2 hours for each piece put back in!!!!
If I started again, I would consider buying a laser cutter that can cut 2400x1200x12mm ply. 3D cad design all the interior and use the laser to cutout the jigsaw puzzle to put together. Hopefully saving 1000s of hours. Sell the laser cutter once complete. Flying Coney may be big enough to house this machine in her belly while you are building it all.
Just my thoughts.
Love your work, both of you.
