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
- Out of scope: a catamaran, where the brief is monohulls only. Kept for reference.
- The binding constraint is not draft but beam — 21ft 4in exceeds the travelift capacity at every Bay yard used to cost the monohulls, leaving Napa Valley Marina thirty miles up-river at roughly three times the haul-out cost. Sources disagree on the beam by a foot; measure before assuming.
Costed to cross the Pacific.

offer + full refit
Worst case, every line landing in full: $120,220. 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 $61,449 — the negotiable share of $68,600 in disclosed and suspected defects plus $33,815 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.
