hdra 74 #14408 Posted October 12, 2020 1500 firm, cash only. This Cal 21 sailboat has the entire inside rebuilt with marine plywood and epoxy. I did all of this work several years ago, (except for one bulkhead and the wood in the bow, but they are new from someone else also, and are still dry.) The work also included: all the stainless steel fasteners replaced and marine ply backing plates added. New windows, reinforcing of the the fiberglass keel trunk, fiberglass in the entire deck to hull joint, adding a fresh plywood piece to the transom inside, and painting everything inside and outside. The trailer has a brand new axle with wheels and tires that have only seen saltwater about five times. It comes with a storm jib, a main sail, and head sail, two anchors and some other miscellaneous things. https://skagit.craigslist.org/boa/d/anacortes-cal-21-sailboat-with-sails/7207723066.html Hope the rest of the work was done better than the paint...

You gotta get your artists straight: Pollock used a technique in which the brush never touched the canvas. In these pics I clearly see brush strokes. I do like the artist approach though: I think we have all seen some work by Mondriaan (funny color schemes) and Kiefer (straw and mud held together with thick layers of paint).

I was about to tell an anecdote about not being able to recycle tungsten, despite it being like US$9000 for a 12"x12"x1" piece new, and thinking titanium might be similarly impossible to recycle due it it's being hard to reprocess. But before telling this not very related story, I googled about recycling titanium and, for the first time in literally years of gently looking, found a place that recycles titanium and also tungsten. See https://www.greystonealloys.com/ I've emailed them about the few hundred pounds of Tungsten blocks we have lying around. Thanks kinardly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I drove a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda, 273 V8 automatic during the late 1980s. Looked cool, with the huge, glass greenhouse/bubble fastback. That 273 burned oil like nobody's business, so I carried a jug of used oil in the trunk and periodically refilled the engine. Worst thing was it only had lap belts. I had determined that if I crashed, my mouth would strike the steering wheel and my teeth would absorb the impact. Scary, but not scary enough to make me stop driving the car. Eventually got a screaming 340 and a four speed, and then the car was stolen. I prowled 495 south of Lowell. Fewer State-ies than the Pike. [Ha.

Winston29 71 #14477 Posted October 20, 2020 IMO this one deserves to be mocked for at least 2 reasons. Maybe 3, if you want to mock the red reflectors on the amas. 1) The seller posts multiple pictures of boats that clearly aren't the boat for sale, but just random photos of the kind of boat they're selling, including a closeup of the boat on a trailer that later it doesn't appear on. 2) Who (badly) paints the bottom of a polyethylene boat?? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/boa/d/antioch-sailboat-wind-rider/7216804915.html Yes, these 4 photos are all from the same ad for a single, 2015 WindRider-17 trimaran. $6,950 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some interesting numbers to bring to your loan officer. "Sure, it's valued above market and the comps aren't too promising -- but I figure 30% ROI cooking the white pookie and an underserved middle school demographic make this a sound investment."

Foiling Optimist 231 #14481 Posted October 20, 2020 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/docproject/desperate-for-adventure-i-joined-a-renegade-sea-circus-until-i-had-to-flee-1.5763888 This is definitely not Craigslist but I heard this on CBC radio and got suddenly interested when the narrator talked about visiting the company principals who are currently refitting their theater, cum tall ship, cum Thames river barge at Shelter Island Marina. Now MAoCL thread aficionados from British Columbia's south coast will recognize that while we are still in the tidal river, Shelter Island is certainly a getting a little too far up the (Fraser) river for comfort, as Sloop Jon B might say. The main story is about the theater leadership/ship captains not taking US immigration issues seriously but this came about because they couldn't afford to comply with Canadian regulations that they probably should have, to avoid, oh, I don't know, things like the Catalina dive boat catastrophe. You can read more about the refit here and the good news is these folks are evidently good at writing grants so the Amara Zee may yet escape Shelter Island. http://www.caravanstage.org/amara-zee-refit/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FB- Doug You can't see the bow in the shot with the blue paint. It may be the same boat, but the pic wasn't taken at the same time. I'm not sure why the tongue jack is sitting on a block of wood, but given the city it's being sold in, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot wrong with that whole set-up. In 2019, Antioch, Ca. was ranked the most miserable city in the San Francisco Bay Area. I haven't been in about 20 years, but when I was last there, it was a real low-rent, low class, low brow, low IQ, white trash shit hole of a town. Sounds like it still is. I'm a little surprised to see the wheels are still on that trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went and looked at an H-boat he had for sale about five-six years ago. I'd have bought it but wasn't at all sure that the trailer could handle the hill up to his house.

toddster 438 #14486 Posted October 21, 2020 Brilliant farm clean-up strategy! Any random piece of junk can be monetized by selling it on CL as an anchor! Extra points of you can come up with some reason why it's superior for some specialized conditions - and therefore worth more, of course! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toddster 438 #14487 Posted October 21, 2020 Another good strategy: When selling a dubious boat, arrange for a cute puppy to photobomb every shot! "Many working parts!" "The deed burnt in the fire..." Wait, what fire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
