Capability is scored for both standards from the same design research, re-weighted. The money is not: a coastal refit has to be costed on its own, which is why it can read “not analysed” above while the score beside it is real.
Assistant's read — an opinion, not a source
- Cheapest all-in in the fleet, and the least examined.
- 2025 standing rigging and 2023 seacocks are real assets; centre cockpit and shaft-drive Yanmar suit the passage.
- But eleven systems are unassessed, sail ages are absent, and there is no radar, AIS, autopilot, solar or safety package.
- Check headroom in person — 6ft 1in is marginal at 6ft 3in.
- Worth inspecting; do not trust the price until you have.

offer + full refit
Worst case, every line landing in full: $95,010. Planning figure is the likely cost above; this is the tail, not the expectation.
Resale
The gross figure flatters: Australian duty and GST fall due on sale, and brokerage is charged on the sale price.

Where to open
Asking price less $21,735 — the negotiable share of $19,600 in disclosed and suspected defects plus $16,625 of weighted risk. Offshore upgrades are excluded on purpose: a watermaker and a liferaft are your ambition, not the seller's problem, and the next buyer wanting a Bay daysailer would pay near the ask.

Schedule
A boat that cannot be ready is not cheaper, it is a year late.
How much of this is actually known
A boat priced from guesses is a different risk from one priced from quotes, at the same total.
