Re: FRP Deck Rot Repair Costs

Thanks Scout30, I knew about the Kiwi but not the tuff coat. Boat had Durabak coating over teak and the up the side of the gunnels--this is proving to be the hardest part to remove. Tuff Coat...

Re: FRP Deck Rot Repair Costs

I have currently finished hour 16 of a teak deck tear off and rotting core replacement. I am newly retired and live aboard a 1984 marine trader 34 DC and seeing I have more time than money I am...

Re: Help Please—Moving to the Reality Stage

Update. I went to the dark side and offered a price within my budget for a trawler I've been eying for 6 months but way out of my price range and it was accepted. I decided to teach 4 more years,...

Re: Help Please—Moving to the Reality Stage (update)

First off, thanks for all the great info. After making an offer, I withdrew because of the distance and upgrading needed on the SC31. I have now narrowed it down to an Allied Princess and Allied...

Re: Help Please—Moving to the Reality Stage

Thanks all, the distance is the only thing that is hampering my decision at the moment. 4 hrs each way and then working all weekend is not my idea of a good time. Earliest I could get it to my...

Re: Help Please—Moving to the Reality Stage

Again thanks all. Just received a counter offer and a few goodies thrown in. Gonna mill it over this evening but it is looking like a real possibility on the SC31.

Re: Help Please—Moving to the Reality Stage

Thanks all for the great replies. I currently live in South Carolina and 2 of the boats are 200 miles away and the other (ketch) only about 20. I made an offer on the SC31, quite a bit lower than...

Help Please—Moving to the Reality Stage

Hello all,

I have finally moved to the “do it” stage as a solo live-aboard/cruiser. After many months of searching I have found three boats that all tug at the heart. I am now in the anxious...

Live-aboard or Survive-aboard

I have never lived on a boat, though I have spent weekends and up to a week cruising. I visited Rockport, TX yesterday to do a little boat browsing and it was disappointing to say the least. A good...

Re: 31ft Jim Brown Sea Runner

I believe the owner can cancel his documentation as per coast guard Q&A: HOW DO I DELETE A VESSEL FROM DOCUMENTATION?

A vessel may be deleted from documentation upon the request of the vessel...

Re: 31ft Jim Brown Sea Runner

Sorry to read of your woes. I believe a perspective buyer would like to know who owns the boat and by what means, title, bill of sale, registration? Selling over the phone/internet will take some...

Re: Fit 20-35 year old Female Sailor wanted

I agree David, I think a straight up (no pun intended) request is fine, and women are adults--I still found the OP request humorous in an absurd way. I started responding to the comments about the...

Re: Fit 20-35 year old Female Sailor wanted

Thank you; however, I understand all of the above. My point is he wants a "fit" single girl with not much lead time for "getting to know" seems like OP was looking for a little more. His post came...

Re: Fit 20-35 year old Female Sailor wanted

Hijacking is part of the interwebs. The OP sent out a request that many here find amusing, hence the snarkiness. If the OP can not find a girl in his own town that would be willing to go for a...

Re: Beneteau Discount on New Yacht

I sold new boats (stink pots) for a living many years ago and when we were doing a boat show with factory reps., one could indeed get a very good deal. We had our bottom line and the reps. could...

Re: Suggestion of wording on an offer

With you on this one. Some buyers are not worth the hassle, and some sellers are the same. I personally would not ever certify, swear to, or affirm a boat as seaworthy or not seaworthy unless it was...

Re: Suggestion of wording on an offer

What's wrong with "I have the right to withdraw offer for any reason based on results of a my survey"?

Re: Opinions on CAL 3-30

Sara the Cal 28 Flush Deck would be perfect; however, they are hard to come by on the east coast. I will probably pass on the 3-30, and look for something a little more cruise orientated. Just...

Re: Opinions on CAL 3-30

Thanks Bash, thank is the kind of input I was looking for. I came from a Nonsuch 26 which was very easy to sail and had lots of room, before the Potter. Most of the info on 3-30 involved racing...
