Discard the post, abort operation!
Harmony was really perfect inside but completely destroyed outside. We took the boat out of the water and I got very upset. Counted 57 gelcoat patches at the boat sides, and strong signs that it was hardly hit to the nose and massive repair job signs at the stern.
So I flew to Valencia to see another boat — Bavaria 39 2005 in a default configuration, but in a close to perfect condition.

Since repainting a boat costs at least €10k besides the massive amount of work required to clean up and polish the hull, I decided to cancel the deal with Harmony for 50k and took this Bavaria for 62k.
It's a little longer, little wider, way more common boat than Harmony, so a lot of spare parts are at the aftermarket.

Overall it seems a better deal.

Current state: deposit issued, waiting for the contract. Meanwhile I'm returning back to Israel to pack my shit.
By the end of November I should be back to my boat.
