Hi, It's been a few years since I posted and I'm looking for a little
advice in the
buying and selling arena, plus this post will serve as feeler for interest in some "stuff"
I own an 85
Catalina 30 TR. She is now
for sale and I've got a couple prospect buyers very interested. However, I suspect there will be some negotiation. I was thinking the following might offset a lower offer:
First, I built a
trailer for my
boat 8 yrs ago. It is a
storage trailer (no suspension, no brakes, etc) for the purpose of going 1 1/2 mile from my house to the marina at no more than 10 MPH. No way would it be suitable for long distance transportation. Prospective buyer "John Doe" wants to buy my
boat but doesn't need the trailer. So I'm looking for someone who wants a trailer and would give me his
cradle plus some
money (what's a C30 trailer worth?)
Next John isn't interested in using the
spinnaker. So, if he buys the boat less the
spinnaker,
sheets, pole
halyard,
mast loop, and
mast top crane, is there a market for them?
I have a Martec folding prop and John doesn't care about that. I remember paying almost $300 for it. I threw the solid prop away years ago. (Stupid). Perhaps I could find someone who wants to
trade a two blade and some bucks
Last, John isn't interested in the Garhauler adjustable
genoa car system so that's on the
auction block too.
John however does want a
dodger which my boat doesn't have. Perhaps he'd up his offer if I could provide one. If there is anyone out there with a
dodger for sale and would like to
trade for any of my "stuff" consider this an invitation.
For those who might ask, I am located in West Michigan.
