I've been looking at that one on C/L lately....just wondering how I could get it up to Lake Ontario. Don't know how much trucking it up would cost, and the length of time to sail it up is out of the question.
Hmmm....

Latest news on the Peabody tri is that the family has sold the property and removal is now urgent.

Lisa Hanselman confirms on FB that the cost of the boat is$0 dollars, the cost of $25K is an estimate by Brownells to remove and transport the boat to Danvers, nearby, to get it into a yard where it can be finished enough to float and be driven elsewhere.

Based on the list of fittings in the Craigslist ad it's worth $25 in fittings, engine and electronics.

So even paying $25K to move it, it's a 'free' boat, as you wouldn't then need to buy the engine, winches, elctrics, electronics etc etc that have already been purchased and come with the boat.

Can someone rescue it before the chainsaws are called in by the new owners of the property?

UPDATE:
Just heard abck fomr Lisa and there are apparently two spars, one of which is a mast, but she's not sure about the other one, might be intended as the boom.
But no actual rigging.

Crowther 40 in FLA. Obviously a project boat. Looks very rough, no engines, rig "intact".... whatever that means. Wet balsa core in places. Polyester resin over balsa core..... Obviously a major project boat.... I can only imagine cutting out balsa core in the hulls.... presumably replacing with foam / epoxy. I would assume that with a little clean up and some repair, and a couple of outboards (brackets are there) it could be sailed to a more favorable location....... a lotta boat.... lotta project, they are asking $10K.... racking up storage fees, they soon may be paying to get rid of it ;-)

I can deliver for $250 a day, plus airfare. I just delivered a trimaran from Long Beach California to Portland Oregon in 10 days.

34' Searunner (O'scia) in Ventura finally sold a few weeks ago. It was on Craigslist for about six months and was mentioned in this thread. The owner was asking $22,000 for it. I know he was hoping to get $20,000. Did anyone here actually go see it - or buy it? Anyone know what she sold for?

Thanks

Commanche 32 here along with their Youtube channel. The Commanche is a nice boat but this particular one needs work. I viewed it before the youtube couple bought it and posted about it somewhere on here.

It also seems to be back luck (if you believe in that thing) judging by what these two have been through.

Yours for roughly £25,000

Edit - found my thread. It was available for about £16,000 and at the time I estimated about £25-30k to get it how I'd want it (to my untrained eye).

Free catamaran (Ramrod key)

Is a pending disaster IMHO. Be sure you look up the current title from bow nums if you make a run at this.

Sounds like “please come and steal this boat.”

Free catamaran (Ramrod key)

Looks like an Iroquois 30 under that terrible coachroof butchery. Dated but quick hull design.

If you have any skills you could put together a roadworthy trailer and hire the transporting to someone on U ship. I built a decent trailer for my Gemini from an old mobile jobsite office trailer frame I got for $250, removed some axles and mounted the 2 i kept with brakes on a sub frame so I could move it to get the correct tongue weight once we set the boat on it, bought 4 new dot approved tire/rim combos and have about a grand in it, still need to add lights and a breakaway brake system and a removable extension to the back to be fully legal but the benefits of a yard trailer for me are immense. Geminis require a lot less in the way of permitting vs wider cats for road transport.

Here's an interesting boat on CL. My friend had a boat at this marina and I noticed this cat there when we went sailing. He never saw it leave which doesn't mean that it didn't. It did look like it needed some TLC.

1993 Catana 411 sailboat. Very low hours on the entire boat. It has two Volvo 2030 engines with Volvo Penta saildrives. Sails are serviceable but need cleaning. Windows need rebedding. All self tailing winches and rigging are like new. This is a project boat with the potential to easily be a $150,000+ boat.

I'm pretty sure that's the boat that was tied up at Port Ludlow for several years, slowly rotting away.
I remember wishing I could find out who owned it to see if they'd sell as it obviously wasn't ever going anywhere.


One day it wasn't there any more and I saw somewhere online it had been purchased for $33k - $35k. There were a few pics of a very moldy saloon.


If so, this is a flip hoping to make $50k.
