Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

There are other factors though. The cost for me to relocate will be more than the cost of the boat itself.

However, I'm interested. Let me see what the owner says -- I may ask you of you to take...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

Update: That Cape Dory 30 Ketch -- its been sold, but not to me. That thing went fast. Definitely was on my top 5. It was one of you guys, wasn't it ;).

I like the Bristols too, and the boat...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

That's always a good point, and the same strategy I've used when buying all my vehicles so far.

But like with cars or motorcycles, they often have had more than one owner. However, if the...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

I also really like that Cape Dory 30, and am trying to get as much info on her as I can (remotely). I have a few friends out in NY, but none of them are boat experts. I might be able to coerce one of...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

It just boggles my mind how much work and money is involved in an engine refit. It would be the same price of some of these boats. Too bad -- I'll be trying to steer clear of the Atomic 4s for my...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

A lot of these boats that I like are equipped with the Atomic 4, and I've been wondering how much this should influence my decision-making process, and whether or not I should stick with a...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

I most definitely would be, though I haven't settled on a particular style. I like the styles of WhiteSpotPirates and of course the Delos crew. I have a background in photography that I hope to...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

I had not heard of Kijiji, is it a Canadian thing?

I like that Bayfield. As it is, it does stand on the upper-end of my budget, but my total budget for the boat is about 20-30K. So I may be...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

This is true, I have not fully exploited the more "local" methods as of yet.

I'll probably make a trip down to some of the marinas around here, and see if there are any boats on slips that might...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

That's a really good deal on (what looks like) a well-maintained CD30.

The web-app I developed to monitor the market has 19 examples of CD30s, and the cheapest one is 11.5K, and the most...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

Yeah I saw that one. Doesn't have a motor though, and it sounds like it's a project still.

I found this example though on the other coast:

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

The "face-timing" is a good idea if I can get a seller to do it. If not, I can probably request they take photos of particular regions of interest before paying for a survey.

I have the Columbia...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

Yeah. I left my job, and am taking my humble savings for a 2-3 year trip around the world (or as far as I can get).

More likely I'll stay with a friend on a month-to-month basis if the boat isn't...

Re: Viewing a boat by proxy

Thanks for the reply Don!

If I have a good collection of photos and reliable maintenance records then I'm goods shape. But I always assume the parties selling a boat, though not necessarily...

Viewing a boat by proxy

So I've got my short-list of pocket cruisers (8-15k range), and they're scattered mostly along the pacific coast, with a few on the atlantic side.

I've contacted owners, and got what info I can,...
