    If you wanted to take this job, a few things:

    1: I would use a reciprocating saw not a chainsaw. A chainsaw would make a huge mess.

    2: My neighbor has a boat very similar to that, only it's a 21' and I helped him put the mast up. The 4 cables are what's holding that mast vertical. The base of the mast fits on nub on top of the deck called a step. Some are hinged, some aren't. Hinged ones are easy to lower. There are plenty of Youtube videos on lowering a mast. https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...owering+a+mast

    3: If that keel weight is lead, and you can get it out with no junk attached to it, it's extra money. Around here, clean lead brings about 40 cents/lb. 500lbs of lead = another $200



    4: Some of the miscellaneous brackets are stainless, and don't forget about the tie down cleats. Being near the water, you can definitely sell those.
