Here's one of Richard's boats that is currently listed for sale elsewhere.

If you look at this thread, there is a guy named Richard Laksennan(sp?) who lives in Holland Michigan. He has 3 of them, and you could buy at least one. The guy who started the thread is named Scott. He started 'seriously looking' in January 2015, and wouldn't buy anything short of really nice because he 'didn't want to spend a year having it restored'. Several projects have slipped through his hands over those 6 years(including my boat before I bought it), and he is still left wanting. I suggest if you're serious, call Richard and roll up your sleeves(or pay someone else to do it). They don't come around often, and they don't come cheap. Food for thought.
It would be ridiculous. He's in for far over 6 figures on this boat. And the boat has sentimental value-that's what kept him finishing the project.
Sorry, it's no longer available. My buddy was frustrated and neck-deep in money on the project and asked me to help him sell it. He decided he couldn't sell after the first caller I sent to him. He's completing it. Good hunting!
People gave me grief for buying one of the worst-kept examples because it would require so much work. I still have it and can work on it while using it! My suggestion is that you should buy it in whatever condition you can find one.
