[C38] Estancia: Before and after!

[Max Soto]

Craig, the dodger was designed and built by the PO... But it was poorly built....the windows were regular glass, no sealant , so water finally rotten the whole assembly, wood trims and risers...that's why I had to replace everything....I still have to work on a soft spot on the port side of the companionway because of the water leaking from the dodger bolts into the balsa core, but is not that much...
 Paul, by any chance you meant Tartarooga  dodgers ?

Regards, 
Max

He said he wasn't able to take care of the boat anymore and he wanted to sell it, but I already had a boat, so, he put a good price on the boat and I told him to give me two weeks, that I was going to put mine for sale. So, I did, put an ad on the news paper for the Spirit, got just one call, the customer came, loved the boat and bought it, so I went with the money and bought it.
