Hi ..in your post you said a good
steel "Hull" Are you after a
project boat or is it the design type that you are looking at. The level of finish and what
gear is on board make a huge difference to the
price. I have looked at dozens of steel
boat ranging from 30K for something that you need to be careful not to tread to heavily, to 350K masterpiece that had a switchboard so large that it looked like the controls of a nuclear
power station. How fast do you want to go ? Round
bilge or hard chine? How many chines ? There was/is a beautifully built hard chine,
bilge keeler,
for sale in Hastings (Vic) for about 80K. Aprox 34 foot ready to go. I have seen
single chined
boats ,loaded with
gear really
cheap, because people think that they are really slow and dont like the look of them out of
water. No different than a dory with a
keel really. ##33 feet is at the very small end for a boat with an aft
cabin. You may have to throw a few more parameters to get closer to what you want.
