Sailboat Shopping
Howdy Friends
Let's Start Shopping For a Sailboat
Yep, welcome to my Market Friday - on a Saturday LOL!
Ha! @dswigle is not here to yell at me for being late so I think it will be ok to just be a day tardy... Hey its the thought that counts, am I right?
Nice ski but not sure how many hours are on it...
So for me part of the fun of buying a boat is the fun of learning about them and the market. Right now I am at the total noob level, but I thought it would be fun to look at a few local ones.
A cat would be fun but is not my first choice for comfort!
Its far from new, but that would be ok.
Sadly there was no price on it. I hate when people do that!
7 grand gets you into this newer fishing boat. Just not what we are after.
So I have been watching this one for a while. It was for sale last year, but never sold... Not a great sign but let's look.
It is a nice size, not too big.
Kinda cute and looks like a classic.
Set up for a kicker, but one is not included.
Apparently it meant a lot to someone that has some fond memories of her.
I like that it has at least some small benches.
Hmm $2500 or best offer.... getting late in the season...didnt sell last year or this year so far...winter right around the corner... hasn't seen water since 2010 according to the sticker....
HMMMMM Wonder what he would take?
Thanks for stopping by!

OK, come back next year to check on the price then.
Interesting stuff but for outside my wheelhouse. I always have dreamt of living on a boat.. somewhere in a Faraway country like Norway.
Oh yeah I am addicted to watching vids on YT of smaller boats going down to the Bahamas and going island hopping!
I hear those sailboats are real easy on gas, lol
Oh yeah, and on your back and arms!
Wow...really lovely photo shoot...my lovely friend olf-guy-photoy...
That's some fun shopping! I hope you find a super cool boat for a good price.
Pretty cool i hope you find what your after decision....decision :)
This is something I know nothing about :)
A live aboard again would be fun, but I can see why a small sailboat will get you out on the water for great day sailing. Good luck and happy sailing.
Great shots. To me, it pretty much doesn't matter how old a boat is if it's fiberglass. A few years ago I bought a 1979 McGregor Venture 222 sailboat. It's had its use but after I made some improvements to the hardware the body is still in great condition and it's a great boat.
Ok that is good to know. I was always shying away from older boats!
I hope you lowballed him! You could make that cute liitle thing yours! As long as she is in decent shape, it is all good!
I can see you on this lemon yellow dream!
Most excellent that you decided to peruse the area in search the perfect boat I actually like the catamarans, but, I am not sure if I would want to do long distance on them although it's done everyday. I prefer to let somebody else steer my ship and take me where I want to go. LOL I know you have a dream of navigating down to the Bahamas and I hope someday you realize that dream. I can only imagine what fun it would be on the way down. I hope you at least give that guy an offer or like @ace108 said,we need to go back next year and check out his price!
Always remember that you're never too late for Market Friday. We accept any and all posts.
