Hi Folks...
Thank you for reply...
Time is turning... and i lost hope for traveling overseas the comming summer.
I think our biggest problem in selling is that we can not be there. We are not able to help
rigging and explaining all the systems on board. We can not offer a wet
survey or a test sailing. (Should we pay for
rigging and preparation of the boat with a chance that it won’t be
sold, and doing al backwards again some month’s later?)
Not for a boat in that price range...
The guys in the marina are great, and there will be lots of hands to help rigging, and i will be there on facetime...
Is it realistic to sell a boat under these conditions?
We bought the boat for 75.000 US$. The last years before we left Denmark, we put a lot of
work and
money into the Pinta, more then 150.000US$. (See first post)
But hey... we had some great years and we don’t regret!
Is an expectation of 40 - 45.000 US$ under these circumstances to much?
Things i know that needs to be done:
One scepterfoot needs repacking, in heavy
weather there comes a little moisture in the front cabine.
The starter
battery was weak when we left, it needs replacement, i would replace the
battery in front for the anchorwinch also, they are same age.
The bottom would need a light
sanding and some spotty
paint.
(we gave it 3 layers of blue, and then layers of black. There are a few bluish areas coming through)
New zink for the prop.
The marina took some pictures of the inside...
