***If you are new to boats or old boats it is important to understand what you are looking at. The Chesapeake Bay is full of old boats that are free and end up getting cut up. The reason is that they usually have antiquated electrics and plumbing, old sails or a dead engine. Just putting in a new or young diesel engine costs so much money that nobody does it. Amaryllis does not have those major problems and so will not be given away.
