Wow, that looks like a great deal. There must be a catch, or is that the way boat prices are in FL?

Have no idea, Don. I was searching Florida craigslists for teak for Chotu and that boat popped up.

Note there are no interior photos to speak of. Owner also does say "needs tlc", so it may be mouldy inside or some such.

As you say, though, a solid cruiser with a yanmar and "bikini" - well, I'd take on that cleaning!

Happy New Year to you,

Not a sailboat, but a nice boat nonetheless, and dirt cheap!

Atomic engine. Don't know if he was halfway through painting the decks and what is shown in the pictures is decks covered with primer - but it is an 'as is' sale. Interior needs a good cleaning!

This could or could not be a good project boat if you are in the market for such a deal. Yes, there are issues to overcome, some of which can be overcome by a neutral third party such as a broker. I would want to know from him what is going to be done about a title, there must be a hull number, can you start over in the title process with a bill of sale ? Maybe a talk with the state title office. Lost titles can be replaced in some states.
