Re: Bluewater Cruisers for under $15,000

But it seems you can always find a cheaper boat with less miles on the odometer: 27' Albin Vega $2,000

Re: Bluewater Cruisers for under $15,000

This guy did a couple circumnavigations on an old Pearson Triton.

I'm not sure where these folks are coming from that are saying you cannot buy a Bluewater Cruising boat for under $15,000 unless...

Re: Bluewater Cruisers for under $15,000

From above:

But I also believe that if you find a boat with good bones, that you can sail on in local waters for awhile and spend some time doing upgrades over time...you could end up with a good...

Re: Bluewater Cruisers for under $15,000

She has a point. After I paid the $2,000 for my Bristol 27, I painted the bottom and went. The diesel blew a head gasket soon after so I replaced with a new 4 stroke 5 Hp Mercury outboard for $1500....

Re: Bluewater Cruisers for under $15,000

I think Fatty Goodlander had a Hughes that he salvaged for $3,000 and sailed thousands of miles on maybe a couple circumnaves. Either way, he can tell you how to do it on the cheap:

Re: Bluewater Cruisers for under $15,000

I did a similar thing and bought a 1974 Bristol 27 for $2,000, but I didn't do a lot of work on it. Replaced the diesel with a new outboard, painted the bottom, replaced the running rigging, cleaned...

Re: Bluewater Cruisers for under $15,000

Re: Bluewater Cruisers for under $15,000

Yep, I know of a '73 Alberg 30 (serial number 500 something) with a 1998 Westerbeke Diesel he can probably get for under $15,000. The interior is in awesome shape. Sails above average. New standing...
