2022 June, Comment and pictures From Facebook "When I found SeaULater she was a mess. I had to use 36 grit sand paper on her to sand back the paint. In 30 + years in the marine industry I've never sanded paint so hard. Even the pin striping / name had been painted over. It was hard work to get her looking great again. It's very hard to see her now and it hurts like hell.", "I'm the last owner of SeaULater and I was doing her up. It's very sad to see all of my hard work on her side about to be crushed. I walked away from a domestic abusive relationship with nothing and I've had to walk away from the boat as I couldn't afford to pay the hardstand fees in order to keep the boat. I'd spent 2-3 months part time living away from home working on her to get her to where she is now. I'm single full time dad who had to walk away from everything to stop being abused. When I found SeaULater she was a mess and I fell in love with her, so it is very sad to see her like this."
