OK, so this boat in the picture is not the one that's for sale in the ad.... huh?

" PICTURE IS NOT OF THE BOAT FOR SALE (I believe mine is bigger and definitely better condition. Is just for reference for a similar style.) I am out of state but will be able to post pics and meet for any inquiries 3/4-3/6. I am unsure of length so guessed. I believe it is between 20-30ft. "

Which is good, because I definitely don't want to buy the boat in this picture

Funny you say that... When I was in grad school one of my oceanography profs had a huge fisherman anchor salvaged from the old R/V Eastward in his front yard, including a 6' diameter hawser that ran from the anchor up to a bight around his chimney.  Hilarious and I wish I had a picture.

Asking prices on yatch world are going on 6 figures,  so I guess this person thinks that since the asking prices are so high,  there is no reason he should settle for mid 5 figures...  Lewes De isn't exactly the hot bed of big boat sailing though...also not really sure that Ebay is the best spot for a boat like this either.

You point out something that I find strange.  The auction ended and the owner turned around and re-listed it and immediately the bidding rose up 18.7% higher than the prior final bidding. A bunch of people were watching, so it's not like the whole auction had gone unnoticed. So how does the bidding price go up almost 20% immediately after re-listing? 

I have just requested the referenced additional photos and survey again...I did this last time around but they were not sent.

This boat WAS listed on yachtworld for over 100K before being listed on ebay.  I'm guessing that the boat has become a monthly money pit (and his life priorities have changed), so now the owner is truly ready to get rid of it. But who knows what his "reserve price" level is...it might be 100K.  Curious about the true history on this boat...is it a resurrected wreck, or just a broken dream?

Most likely he took advantage of the ebays policy to pull the ad, pay the fee before the reserve was met and cancel the  ad.  Then relist and have a few friends shill bid on it to boost the price.    If it doesn't make reserve, wash rinse repeat.

Looking at the amount of work done to it,  it looks like it should garner a higher price,  but like real estate, location  location location.  You don't drop the boat off in lewes  and expect to get full value, I at least I wouldn't.  I'd go to a place like Lewes to find a a steal of a deal. Or a cheap place to put the boat on the hard while I work on it.

if you look at the original big history, it took 68 bids to get to 42K,  but only 12 to get to 50 on the new auction.  with one person making a 30K bid on the new auction.  smells funny...

Yes, like a shill bid.  You can find the old ad on yachtworld, and also a video ad on YT with just a couple of minutes of googling.  It looks like his description of what he did with the boat is accurate:  Bought it a few years ago in Grenada, brought it home and sailed it while he worked on it  (sailed it in a couple of Cape to Cape races). S/V Hobo Tiempo.

I'm just wondering if the boat was super run-down or damaged when he bought it. Mentions rot around windows...

I bet that is a little structural detail that Brent did not design, looks like they may have been put in to hold the chine in place while the sides were bent upwards into shape.

But I'm sure the answer is, "Steel B strong!!" and it probably is strong enough to take that point load but those struts are going to be PITA to build a cabin around.

I'd be more worried about the rust dribbling out the back of the cockpit, down the transom.

There's something not right about that hull shape, even for a Swain boat. And I'm not talking about the excrescence on the top.

Shame to see perfectly good material end up like that but if the owner thinks they'll get anything at all for that - they're dreaming.

That place is not a marina in the commonly understood sense. The berths are strata-title, and were sold for something over a million bucks. Back when it was built, a friend tried to convince me we should buy one as an investment. Glad I declined. Sounds like one investor is trying to meet their mortgage payments. 

Does anybody know: Is this a common way to finance and build a marina in other parts of the world?

I raced on a 29 on a very successful one in our area called "Hortense" VARC boat of the year twice on two different owners. But to be fair the crew was pretty much the same. How do you make a Hore tense? Don't pay her!

There was a Chaser 33 too: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/chaser-33 But there were more of the Buccaneer 335/Binliners around and a bunch of them were at the 3/4 ton World's in Victoria. That was when I first "Poncho" and have been friends since. We were there with our 34 aluminum Mull design as that design had won the worlds 2 more times. Things changed quite a bit with the advent of boats like the first Laurie Davidson "Pendragon" and Bill Buchan's Chance daggerboard design "Sachem". Those boats won the world's going away. After that IOR had to change into something else.

I would guess only from the few boats that Chaser built.

Sad

Binliner really blew the looks of that boat with that style of port lights.

I've seen a few that had two rectangular ports aft and it looked so much better.

This ticks off a few boxes.

50 year old teak deck, check

Needs reassembly, check

Seized Yanmar, check

Located in Mexico, check

The only value is in the trailer

I don't see the problem - it's only been baking in the Mexican sun for an unknown number of years.

And it says right in the ad that it will only take a weeks work before launching.

I see no value in it anywhere, except that maybe somebody could make some nice small cabinets out of that teak.

The writer of this ad included so many little jollies, "the cabin needs some cosmetic improvements too" ... I bet so.

Best thing about this boat... it's not ferrocement!

^^^^^ Your ad Israel?   ;-)   I don't think that's teribly mockable - looks like a decent little boat that needs a little attention.

Although duty-bound to mock this boat, I think it's actually not a bad deal. I would double check if it comes with that trailer though.

These boats were built here, it's somewhat of a local classic although there are none in the fleet right now.

Disclaimer... my own boat (well one of 'em) is just out of a couple of the pictures of this one.

If there us somethin I missed? Square me away - I'm a romantic with an unfortunate savior complex.  Leo and the CBMM are heroes to me.

I think mention of Rimas, the inexpensive SJ-24 connection, was Iz's intention... no real mockery

This boat may fall in for some gentle mockery such as being on the wrong coast, and a bit overpriced (OTOH it has won a pretty good number of local events)

is being sold by the same gentleman, and one of my boats -is- in a couple of the pics. I raced on this boat, and against this boat, will be glad if it stays in the local fleet

Yes Steam, it was just the tie to Rimas. The only thing to mock is maybe the crap underneath her.  I saw the Santa Cruz in the ad too - sweet looking.

[SloopJonB 8,329]

This is the SJ24 for Rimas - $200.

Ads like these cause me pain - that was the new hot boat when I started sailing. They cost more than a years pay.

A 3'fer, run away as fast and as far as you can!  A friend who I was sailmaking w/ bought SJ24 stripped out from the Clark's, we totally tricked it out, was gray and called Running Dog (or the dog that runs), later raced as Grauer Gueist, it was the fastest boat in the fleet for years, possibly was a little lighter than the standard production boats but of course that was when if I could remember I wasn't there.

10 years pay for me!  Maybe more.

I thought posting this in the yachtworld lusting thread because I mentioned the possibility of people bugging out on a boat.

Well here ya go, a way overpriced bug out boat.
