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
- The best-documented boat in the fleet.
- Owner records confirm the 5ft 7in keel, 1,609 hours on a Volvo D2-55, no grounding in eighteen years, and invoiced work on 2018 through-hulls, 2020 standing rigging and rudder, and 2024 bottom paint.
- Remaining exposure is the original 2004 sail inventory, an overdue liferaft service and an autopilot component mismatch to verify.
- A production cruiser, not a bluewater design — but the cheapest credible boat here.

Worst case, every line landing in full: $45,345. 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 $16,717 — the negotiable share of $7,650 in disclosed and suspected defects plus $20,211 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.
