Mocking Ads on Craigslist

That is the one! Thanks!

 

The owner was reportedly having a great day. This requires a Hot Rodian level of ignorance, I suppose, but he did get to the right bottom line.

 

 

good thing to keep watch aft. don't want anything to happen to that outboard ...

[Pedagogical Tom 1,509]

You generally want to watch most in the direction of motion.

 

So in this case, any old direction.

Didn't know Honnor built 420s... if they did, would they put tanbark sails on it? This is yet another case of a dumbass with no idea what he's got trying to sell it to another even dumber ass.

 

420s are rather common around sailing areas (Hendersonville NC is up in the mountains), they are basically the standard trainer for sloops and for high school & college racing. This particular one is obviously old & stripped, no CB, no running rigging, tiller (and probably rudder too, can't see well in the pics) home-made by a person with only a poor idea of what he's making.... boy howdy just put uh outt-board onna thang an fergit about that sailin' crap!

[ZeroTheHero 47]

there was a dad at the club I tought at who bought his son a 420 that was so old it had wood rails and such. The part that killed me though was it had 2 mast steps and two locations for shrouds. I have no idea about the forestay, there must have been a second shorter one. The mast could be moved very far forward, about 2 feet forward and sailed singlehanded with the main alone. This boat was ancient and I can just imagine his delight at getting a 420 for such a deal. It was soft all over and leaked terribly. He thought his son was headed to the Olympics when in reality his son hated sailing, hated sailors, hated the club. But he loved music and other stuff. Classic case of Dad trying to make his son into something he wasn't. When the kid finally quit for good dad tried to sell the boat for wayyy to much $ and shocker there, no takers! I think it died in his back yard. It was a horrible boat.

Hah! I remember the 420s you could sail as a cat rig. IIRC nstead of a forestay, you just used the jib halyard when rigged as a cat (mast in forward position). These came out just after the hollowed log.

 

About the kid, it's a shame nobody ever showed him how a fiberglass hull makes one of the world's best percussion instruments.

Boston Whaler Stripper

 

They did make a model called a Striper back then and this boat may have been one at one point, but when it's a bare hull it doesn't really matter which console/seating package it used to have. They were all the same hull.

 

$2k for a bare hull and a good trailer is a fair price.

[SemiSalt 201]

I would not and do not mock.

 

We sneer all the the time at SeaRay's and the like. Here is a much better looking boat with the same sort of speed potential, better living quarters, and a more business-like look.

I think that's a handsome vessel. Bolger did later have to admit he screwed up on this one, though. In the design phase Bolger thought the boat would plane with 50 HP, but during builder's trials the boat failed to perform to expectations with the specified Honda 50 even after a lot of trial and error with different props. It wound up needing 90 HP to get the boat above displacement speeds. Despite the fact it wasn't as economical to run as originally intended, it's still a pretty great river cruiser for the money. Tony Groves built a bunch of Bolger designs, always to a high standard, and I'm sure this one is no exception. I'd hit it. It's also a hell of deal even at the asking price.

[Pedagogical Tom 1,509]

You can make something about that size plane with a 50 and you can even do it if you put a mast on the thing, but it's not necessarily a good idea for everyone.

 

The hull looks like Bolger was using the same general plan as that cute little tugboat thing: a sharpie-ish hull with a wider hull up and outside of it. Off plane, the wide parts provide stability, while on plane they are out of the water and create only air drag. Great plan, except for that transitional "getting on plane" phase. That's where the extra 40 hp was needed. It probably could plane with a 50, but only if you could get it over the hump.

Agreed; I like this a lot more than the Nomad. If it was closer than California I'd be doing some serious lobbying....

 

I wonder what the load is on the hull bottom at plane? Bolger was certainly savvy enough to work out stuff like this. It's a got a much heavier footprint than the littler/simpler versions of this type hull.

I think the clutter tells the story of either a work area that became the area's junkyard because everybody knew nothing good was happening already, or a disorganized person who could never get their act together.

Well, sadly, my slip neighbor (way back up near the top of the "ugly boat" thread) which hadn't moved or had a registration decal in years, finally disappeared a couple of weeks ago. It must have moved horizontally - the marina isn't deep enough for it to have sunk there. When the wind blows from that direction, it now actually makes a significant difference to my docking maneuver. I hadn't realized how much shelter I was getting from that camper shell.

Any idea how you're supposed to get from the foredeck to the cockpit?

This is a gem aint it? Kinda like the flyin hawiian thread without the hate and pain. This thread, ugly boat admiration society, and cool boats to admire have my votes as the best 3 threads on SA. Thank you Cruising Anarchy!

What I like about this thread, aside from that I thought it was a good idea, is that it is lacking, how shall I say it, Oh yeah...meanness.

 

I think one can mock, even in an admiring way, and not be mean.

 

Meanness is cheap, and overrated.

Agree.

 

I think this boat could fit in any one of the three. But I'll put it here because it's on CL:

300 hrs for $200, ouch!

It has a very pointy bow for a pram.

I have to imagine that the 300 hours includes the 260 hours of thinking hard while drinking rum.
