I wandered down to the north of the Golden Zone to look at that boat I found on the web. It’s not exactly what I hoped for but the price is right. What I found is that it doesn’t appear to be a 36 footer like the ad states. It seems shorter than that. Allot less room then I expected, I’ve been on several 35 footers and this didn’t feel like one, not really anywhere to put my electronics shop or tools. The dealer told me he thought it was a 30 footer and a printed estimate they handed me after the tour shows it as a 26 footer. Makes a big difference in the price.
But, the price isn’t bad…$13,000 USD and then around $7,000 to get her seaworthy. And it has radar (most don’t at this age). It needs new rigging, wiring upgraded, painting and the bottom cleaned and checked for voids or rot in the plastic.
While I was waiting, I looked around, there are some of these for sale, this club doesn’t allow any ‘For Sale’ signs on the boats.
This trimaran is for sale for $160,000USD. To rich and ugly for me:
