Is this for sailboats? Are shaft lengths different for sailboats, because I'm thinking of purchasing a 20" 5hp Nissan for a 22' South Coast, and...
What do you mean by that?
Well he's willing to except $2500 maybe I can talk him down a little more.
I know this question may seem ridiculous, but I just looked at a 1971 South Coast 22 and the boat is in excellent condition. It has all new wood...
Thanks Mychael and Seo. It is hard to judge the price of a boat and I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up overpaying for my first boat. You're...
Wouldn't the owner get mad if I make knife marks or cut up his wood? And is this for wooden sailboat only? Again, wouldn't the owner not be...
I've been looking at a few boats and people on this site and other places have always said to survey the sails. I can't afford a surveyor since...
Thanks again Mychael. Of course I checked ebay, but I'm in no hurry to buy a boat. I want to shop around, see what's out there and make a smart...
It seems like most people don't think this boat is a good buy. It's too bad because I kind of liked it but I'm not going to make a mistake on my...
Actually, I thought the motor might need work. I'm not sure, the owner said that it ran but he had another motor that was better so he just...
Well I checked out the columbia and it seems like a good boat. It has a trailer and a Mariner 8hp motor. Slight leak in the ports but nothing...
Thanks. Thanks alot.
Thank you both Mychael and timgoz. That was very helpful advise. So now my next question would be, where and how much do boat surveyers cost?
Chandler, can you elaborate. Does that mean that older boats depreciate slower in value than newer ones?
Frank, I appreciate all that you've said but I sorry I don't understand your logic. And I'm pretty sure you're not understanding me either....
Thanks Frank for your insight. But is there a way to determine a value of a boat, like there is for a car? No one will buy a 76' Camaro w/ no...
I'm also thinking about a 21' San Juan San Juan MK 2 1979. It has a working motor and reliable trailer and it's for sale at $3850. Think it's a...
I've looked at alot of boats and most of them are either 85's or older that are within my price range of $5000. How much of a difference does the...
Ok, what if the boat came with a trailer that wasnt' exactly the right fit for this boat and the owner was throwing in a Mariner Motor that needs...
Why do you say that? What would you think I should get for $3500 as far as sailboats go?
