A friend of mine put his Ericson 35 up for sale. A guy called, interested in the boat but wanted it for practically free. His rationale was that he and his family were going to use the boat to spread the word of God in the southern hemisphere or something and that my friend should give the boat to him because God wanted him to have it.

Hey, I have a 1989 Hunter 28. It works for me, but I suppose my budget and standards are both low.

The hull has a built down, fiberglass keel stub to which the lead keel is bolted. It looks like the bottom of that stub has been fractured.  It's all solid fiberglass so the repair is probably technically feasible,  but not financially feasible. I don't know what the market value of an H28 is, but I'd guess no more than $15k. The big question is the condition of the 30-year-old Yanmar 2GM.

It looks like the bottom of that stub has been fractured.  It's all solid fiberglass so the repair is probably technically feasible,  but not financially feasible. I don't know what the market value of an H28 is, but I'd guess no more than $15k. The big question is the condition of the 30-year-old Yanmar 2GM.

Yeah that was my point - not bagging on Hunters (I came close to buying one) but not the sort of heirloom boat you spend a fortune restoring.

He spelled "turkey" wrong.

[SloopJonB 7,922]

But the original 1972 sails are in great shape.

So there's that.

Is that a heater exhaust just forwar of the stb fwd lower chainplate? Seems like a weird and very inconvenient place for it.

I don’t know what that is but it doesn’t look good!  My first thought was that they drilled a 2” hole through the deck to vent the composting toilet. But the pic of the toilet shows that the vent line hasn’t been connected.

Ain't that vent in the v-berth? What're the chances it's just a fan port? My ex-wife couldn't sleep unless a fan was moving air nearby, and I can see her demanding a hole in the deck in lieu of one mounted to the bulkhead.

Wow, leaving the composter vent unconnected? That sounds nice

I've put Nicro solar-powered vents in several boats. It's generally not too hard to find a place the people don't step, like the forward hatch. They have an upgrade with a recharging battery so it runs all night, too. They're very quiet and they freshen the air considerably.

They are great to put in a head BTW if you can locate it where the cowl is not going be a hazard on deck

That boat is odd. The inside looks to be in really great shape and the outside looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a while, almost like the pictures are of two different boats. I wonder if the outside would clean up if the owner bothered. Might get a better price out of it if he did. 20k is a pipe dream.

I think he took a $1,000 boat, spent $2,000 on cushions and upholstery, and is trying to sell for $20k.  Winches look new though, so that's something.  Gelcoat looks totally shot.

For sale: A 10 VERY unique trimaran that fits 2 people. I bought it a year ago on a whim and have never sailed it. I am 6 and dont fit very well. The only think that is not perfect is there are a couple of nibbles on the front of the sail that were there when I bought it. It is still sailable the way it is.

It may be sailable, but it's not saleable, not at that price. $7.50 sounds about right.

[SloopJonB 7,922]

Home made?

I was certain that was a mass production item.

I reckon you have a salient point there skipper.....

[Black Sox 655]

Well, the seller admits to being only 6 so give them a break.

And it’s not their fault that the sail has been attacked by mice.

They sure make them young now.  And just 6 years old.  Like wow.......the diction and the grammar is amazing.

Also (pet peeve) 'unique' is superlative; it does not take an intensifier (very, extremely, totally, absolutely). It may, under protest, allow a mitigating adverb: This boat is rather (somewhat, fairly, almost, practically) unique.

Is that a griddle in the galley?  If you don't want to sail, maybe you can cook up some breakfast for the dock.  Pancakes for everyone!

French Toast if you're a young hot chick.
