Currently at $19.99. These no-reserve auctions sometimes go for less than the document handling fee of $300. Something to watch, just don't bid too early. You'll end up driving the price higher.

She's a 335.00. With the damage, been under water by the looks of it, it's already past worth it with fees.

Price is going higher than I would have expected. Up to $630. Yes, pass on it.

I made a small bid at the very beginning and it looks like they canceled the auction and reposted it. It was up over $1k at the time.

Lovely looking little Dufour 31' $8,000 lying Belfast, Maine

Probably needs lots of recommissioning, as it seems to have been on the hard a while...?

Although the pictures on the face of it look great, engine is Atomic 4 and why no picture of the full saloon? May be no reason, but I would always be cautious of areas that have been left out of pics...

That year Seabreeze had the aluminum centerboard. It worked well enough but is subject to corrosion and more maintenance.

Assuming there are no major surprises on survey, that's a good deal!

Had someone check on this. The boat has been partial submerged. All of the frame work holding the floorboards is soft and will need to be tore out. This means the entire sole and all furniture will have to come out. I thought these old boats had fiberglass frame work to hold the sole and bulkheads. Someone is going to have one hell of a job on their hands.

Did you give up on your Uncle's boat, Emoyeni?

1973 Columbia 45 motorsailor - $12,000 (Ventura CA)
This doesn't seem like a screaming good deal, but it's not a bad price considering that it's going to need a repower. The guy might be willing to sell for less. Can't hurt to ask.

I talked to the guy, he says everything works. Hard to trust at that price point.

Something's fishy... what is it.. sails are all bad? Engine is seized?
