Seems people are always coming on here asking about boats in this size. This one has been for sale for a while think location is why it is not selling . But with a new motor and at $15000 it would have to be one of the best buys around.

He wants minimum 19k. It needs tlc(his words) boats in middle of nowhere and his pix are sideways,blownout and generally bad. Hes not helping sell the boat. I skip these ads.
I noticed she has come back on eBay again. Nice boat and a good buy. The problem is most people wont travel to buy boats. There are several really good boats for sale at the moment out in the sticks that would sell easily in the big smoke!
The water damage inside that boat is extraordinary. delamination everywhere. Good luck to the new owner.
The motor is $12000 alone without fitting.
@$15000 for a 30+foot boat What second hand boat is not going to need work?
@15000 it leaves a lot of money to do the cosmetics pay $35000 and then the motor needs replacing brings you to $50000 pretty quick.
even if you spend $10000 on the fit out $25000 with a new motor and new fit out is cheap.
he wants min 19k.
It looks like it needs a complete interior fit out.
at a rough glance at his dodgy photos a winch looks corroded.
Being a bit judgmental here but when i see these ads with dirty socks and crap on the sink and other misc junk everywhere which really hides the boat, it tells me that this person didnt care for this boat and you can see that from the condition of the interior.
I dont know why he mentions a mast refurb nearly 30 years ago.
my boat is 1971 and its in better condition than this boat. Who know what can of worms youre gonna find if you drive up there and look at it closely, let alone after youve bought it and really get into the work.
If i had 50 k id get something else no doubt.
I used to regularly sail on this boat about 25 years ago. The owner used to keep it in imaculate condition. The interior had a full refit back then. Certainly needs a bit of tlc to bring it back.

There are a couple of areas with the interior varnish work that will never get back to perfect even after a full scrape back but still nice bones. Someone is going to get a nice cheap boat with a good engine. Will need a furler though to make a good package.
It has a nice boaty feel about the interior, something we don't see much now in newer tupperware boats.
its probably structurally sound needing some TLC inside. i guess that stuff inside is kinda superficial. Brand new motor which is great.
It just looks like it leaks somewhere or its been closed up for so long that its al damp inside.
