|   Chuck, I bought this derelict boat S&S Sailmaster 
                            22 for $900. 
                          
                          The deck was seperated so had to start from scratch, 
                            ripping the deck off. 
                          
                          I extended the transom 16" to make it more delicate. 
                          
                           I rounded the cockpit with a new lazerette, rolled 
                            the rails aft and added outside combing.  
                          
                          Re-designed the coach roof to look more traditional. 
                           
                          
                          It had a outboard well so I added a Yanmar 9 HP diesel. 
                           
                          
                          It's my first plastic boat, can't say as if I'm really 
                            enjoying it, too much fairing and sanding. I'm changing 
                            the rig to a cutter rig adding bow sprit with roller 
                            reefing and self tending staysail.
