1988 halman 21 $6k
https://greenbay.craigslist.org/boa/...871447789.html

Green Bay craigslist is bringing theirA Game-
This is a super cool looking boat with an outboard, a very different look from a lot of the thread. Folkboat style.

68 kittiwake 23, $2.2k
My kind of jam. I like the marriage of chunky and shallow. It’s been posted before but it still catches my eye.

Oh now maybe too small to live on but **saweeet** looking, seems seaworthy very sturdy and beam under 8' trailer anywhere?

Not a Nor'sea not Falmouth 22 nor Cornish Crabber, but looks similar to Flicka, Dana, Nordica, and ten years newer.

Can't find headroom? Probably like the Halman 20, only 5 foot 8-(

Westerly Tiger, 26’$2.5k

https://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/boa...881553715.html

Year not listed. Westerly a great reputation for solid builds. Trailer/cradle nice to have, but looks like a yard/non-highway trailer. Diesel and outboard bracket- gets you underway for now, maybe you can learn to fix the diesel later, or maybe it magically starts and runs (lol). Nice boat, nice price.

‘82 Hunter 27 $5k obo

https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/b...885741621.html

Looks pretty good. Taking offers, always nice. 6’ headroom in cabin sounds magical. Looks like a good one.

that trailer is a real nice fifth wheel rv trailer frame that was converted to Carry the boat real nice setup
That md1 if not frozen or cracked block is an easy fix to running condition.

Worth it just for that trailer

‘86 Cape Dory 26’, $6.4k
https://holland.craigslist.org/boa/d...887372109.html

4 stroke outboard in a well, my preferred setup. Pretty sharp looking boat, not free but close if she’s as sweet as she seems. No trailer could be an issue.

Another take away I always have on ads is when they say they're selling to buy a bigger boat. That's someone who likes sailing, and therefore hopefully liked their boat and took good care of it until 3-foot-itis set in.


Seem to be much better chances of well cared for boat than the "I didn't like sailing" or "spouse didn't like sailing" sellers...

Hhhm. I never considered that type of conversion. It'd be a little heavy and tough to launch on a ramp, but it would be a stable setup.

My truck is a shortbed Titan that can't pull a typical fifth wheel RV, but without the RV part it probably wouldn't contact the cab in a sharp turn.

depends on how the upper deck frame is modified.

And its not for launching from a ramp its for sling launch.

77 Albin $3.5k , unknown model
I have seen the Albin Vega up close and it looked good. I know the Albin reputation is good. 26’ LOA on ad, obligatory barn roof and trusses visible in ad. Taking offers, price was “appraised value “. Interior looked nice. Trailer.

Not great headroom though I think? My notes say well under 5'10", got to even that only in later years.

Rarely have I wished I were short but. . .

Likely to be a lot of critters living in it as well, being in a nice dry barn for a few years.

From far afield
79 Tylercraft , $4.9k obo, appears to be the “dining car” model
I know naught of this boat but the trailer looks nice and the inside looks like an apartment. Bilge keeler, jib boom, classy door to the head, cool table and benches, and other unusual features seemed enough to merit a post. Looks like a lot of windage to pay for all that cabin, but it could be a cool cruiser or even an air bnb.

https://duluth.craigslist.org/boa/d/...877863378.html

But wait! There’s more
Striking green boat, 24’, unknown make and year, $2.4k
I know that sounds terrible and this is THE greenest boat I’ve seen. But it looks like a lot for the money and the apparent fixed solar panel, small cockpit, large cabin with big windows, and lazarette with cool hydraulic strut to hold it open, as well as a trailer with the boat looking like it was no more than 7’ high on the trailer while still echoing the form factor of a Pearson Ariel. Intriguing, and seemingly unique. There must be a backstory.
