Pedagogical Tom 1,470 #602 Posted July 22, 2013 Today's entries in the "mildew farm for sale" category include a Grady White 21 with no transom or floor, but it does come with a trailer and even a console for $500. On most days, that would be the winner for this region, but most days a classic Aquasport does not appear. If you really wanted to get rid of that, wouldn't you spend an hour with a pressure washer?

Most of them end up at the leeward end of the lake, needing a tow back upwind. Back in the day, I was a lot less mellow & tactful than I am now. I lost a good friend over these silly things. I dunno how much he was involved with the design & building of them, but he was pushing a fleet in our area and I gave too many people an honest assessment of them. As technology advanced, materials and manufacturing processes enabled us to have the WindRider tri, which is a better implementation of the same concept; "better" in the sense that it actually sails.

She needs a bit of TLC to make her as good as new. Crewed by a loving "Skipper" and his first mate she has made many "Three hour cruises". She spend several years of life in dry dock on a small tropical island. Her two, 230 horse power Detroit engines were used to make a washing machine, a generator and a coconut milking machine. Her solid wooden hull needs minor repair. The television show "Gilligans Island" gave me my passions for boats. One of the original boats has been restored and now lives in BC Canada.

Steam Flyer 4,824 #661 Posted July 31, 2013 Not a mock but looks like a interesting offer for someone looking for a gentlemens day sailor.. Sailmaster 22 1969 sailboat - project boat - $300 (Weems Creek) http://annapolis.craigslist.org/boa/3943030985.html That seems like a VERY doable project - you could make a birdsmouth spar for the missing mast - new rigging and you'd have a neat little gunkholer for probably less than $1500. I bet you'd blow more than $1500 on any rig that didn't involve clothesline hardware & blue tarp. OTOH it's a pretty little boat. I would not be inclined to criticise anybody for going the distance with it. FB- Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What could possibly go wrong? The driftwood strewn around the deck and coaming could be belt-sanded into submission. Sorry, but that looks like gentleman's chainsaw bait to me. To each his own - I agree w/the no or minimalist interior, but, that little boat isn't much bigger than your Hobie, and looks solid enough and has lines pretty enough that I think she'd be worth saving. That said - I do have an admitted savior complex for old boats, bikes, cars and tools. That perfect one that TAK posted does show the potential, but the example in the ad looks to me like a hull with probable problems. The hull is the cheap part of a boat. I think it's priced a bit high at $300. "Worth it" is certainly in the eye of the beholder, unless we're talking market value. No way could that be fixed up and sold for profit, but someone could fix it for personal use. It wouldn't make a lot of economic sense, but then, pleasure boat ownership never really does.

No way could that be fixed up and sold for profit, but someone could fix it for personal use. It wouldn't make a lot of economic sense, but then, pleasure boat ownership never really does. Indeed - as I said, I call my affliction a complex, in that when I make an emotional, romantic decision to save an old somethin' - that I invariably end up spending 2-3X what it would have cost me to go buy something already "nice". That's OK - my Quixotic attraction to such projects comes w/a realization that they're not going to be profitable. I'm satisfied when I can bring back something that was almost dead. My current motorcycle? a 29 yr old FXRT. My last "big" boat? a 40 yr old wooden deadrise workboat that I got for hauling it away. I happened to have an old diesel engine sitting in my garage (another gimme for taking it away), replanked the bottom of the boat, installed the engine, and gave the boat away to a childhood buddy who was starting over after a divorce. He's still working her 11 yrs later, lavishing time and attention on her and providing me w/free crabs whenever I get over that way to visit. That one worked out. The previous bike I saved was an old Sportster that I hot-rodded, spending about $12K in the process, and ended up trading it for a minivan worth about 1/3 that amount. That one? Not so much.

Never know until you ask... scavenging around for parts is a time-money substitution. One of the fun things about life, everybody gets to pick where they want to hang out on that curve. Spars and major parts are worth scavenging for, but if you include gas money for driving around then it's likely to end up costing more than you think. Not trying to be discouraging here; that certainly has the potential to be a pretty little boat. Maybe go creative and put a gaff cutter rig on it?

Pedagogical Tom 1,470 #673 Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah, I'd agree with that, JonB. Back to something we can mock. Sorry, but putting a lawnmower engine on a skiff does not make a mini-airboat. It does, however, make an amusing contraption that is likely to move slowly over water and not at all over any other surface (since we don't have ice here). It's also pretty likely to capsize if he puts that rudder all the way over and gooses it. Real airboats have a LOT more power, but rolling one, especially in the direction assisted by the prop, doesn't require all that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pedagogical Tom 1,470 #676 Posted August 2, 2013 Well, here's the sad ending to the Evinrude 15 story. The big one is the forward gear. It costs about $400. The smaller one costs over a hundred. Add in needed seal kits and stuff and the parts needed cost about what I paid for the engine. Doh. Sounds like it's time to look for another lower-unit from a junk OB. I found one yesterday, a pull-off from a junk motor that is untested, might or might not have good seals and gears. $300. I'd pay that much for one with fresh seals, or even an old one that had been pressure tested and not re-sealed. I'm going to keep looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pedagogical Tom 1,470 #681 Posted August 5, 2013 Well, it IS a cheap price and the sail inventory is... confusing. three sails (two jibs and two mainsails) worth $500. Boat has a new battery. The motor works well enough and you can motor the boat to wherever you want. You can't sail it right now because the rudder needs to be replaced. Call me and I will give you more details. ... $2000 is a firm price but I am willing to negotiate. I'm actually considering it, but hoping I can get an appointment to see Dr. Dylan and recover.

Pedagogical Tom 1,470 #686 Posted August 6, 2013 As if the toy mast is not bad enough, there is some other pole in between the radar and the mast.
