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 same design as KI and not the same purchase.
- Twelve model years straddle two changes at Ta Yang: late enough for isophthalic gelcoat, so the worst blistering cohort is behind it, but early enough for polyester rather than vinylester laminate, and squarely in the era of reported chainplate corrosion.
- Teak decks are the main water-intrusion risk.
- Dominated by KI, which is the better hull for less money all-in.

offer + full refit
Worst case, every line landing in full: $169,324. 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 $97,056 — the negotiable share of $105,300 in disclosed and suspected defects plus $56,460 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.
