What Our Neglected Catamaran Actually Cost Us So Far

We bought a 57-year-old catamaran sight unseen… and then reality started charging interest. In this episode we stop guessing and finally total everything — materials, mistakes, bodges, tools, upgrades, and the dozens of “that’ll do for now” fixes that never stay temporary on an old boat. Some costs were expected. Most weren’t. This isn’t a fantasy rebuild with unlimited money or a sponsored yard project. It’s what it really looks like trying to bring a long-abandoned boat back to life with limited funds, stubborn persistence, and a refusal to give up on her. If you’ve ever wondered whether rescuing an old boat is cheap, expensive, or a financial black hole — this is the honest answer. No drama. No hiding the numbers. Just the truth so far.
