the perfect boat: Open 40

[Greyhound37]

I think these are the sexiest little race/globe trot boats on the planet. $150,000.US for this beauty. Whats not to like.

Quick, comfortable, capable whats not to like.

You can't buy a clean used pick up truck for this kind of money.

Anyone have info on one for sale in Charleston, SC?

Where is there one for sale?

 

[Lucky Dog]

The perfect boat. If you like tripping over the boats inner structure while bending over in seaway as there Is miminal headroom. Perhaps crawling around the interior is a better description

What pickup costs 150k?

My thoughts exactly,.skipper and crew weren't faint hearted either but switch to a more cruisy boat after a (long) while...

I thought she was abandoned in one of those ocean things a little while ago?

Knock down and dismantling off Cape Horn. Family rescued by Chilean Navy. I guess it was recovered after the storm.
Now you know why all the equipment was removed, reworked and reinstalled as part of the refit.

 

[Greyhound37]

They sure covered a lot of miles in that old girl. $249 is wacky regardless of refit. Closer to 150 I suspect.

Why an Open 40? Whay not a Class 40? Icarus is for sale pretty cheap.

 

[Jackdaw]

Cruise/race a class 40 hull in style?

Glory is rarely cheap.

What kind of pickup trucks are you all buying for $150,000.00???

Also note that the DRAFT of these boats means in many crusing anchorages you are the dot out on the horizon.

Tell you what - you give me that boat in good condition and i will buy you a brand new shiny pickup-truck and give it to you...............

 

[Greyhound37]

I cruised in a T-10 for years and thought I was yachting so the Open 40 will be a palace

Draft is good. Keep you out of trouble spots

Reasonable boat in Germany asking $170,000. may take a peak

The Pogo 12.5 is a work of art. $330K is a show stopper.
