OK, OK, $300. I bet the local scuba shops would love to have a new wreck to dive on.

Local scuba shops ha ha. I live in the boonies there is one scuba company 65 miles away near the northern tip.my house is at the red arrow ( shuttle facingNE)........

Well, I got the sailboat yippee, but I have to pay the owner a couple of K to sweeten him to give me clean title and a bill of sale....instead of going to salvage court where the lawyers get all of our money. Fair swap in real terms.....

Such a great looking boat! Jealous!

Got it in a safe anchorage now, found some stainless wire for the fore stay and a great compass from a buddy to replace the stolen one, basically we are getting there!

hope you didn't leave a pile of clothes on the beach!!!


boat looking good!!

 

[SADS 669]

Just heard from the owner, Bill of sale coming at the end of this month so hope it will all be settled by April........

 

[Jason in Enid]

Man, I wish I could buy this off you! It would be a heck of a deal for both of us! Good luck in your sale of it.

 

[Hitndahed]

Well,
You COULD offer a "share" if any of the leads provided pans out ya know.

The locals are a wonderful resource,, but like any other resource, it must not be abused,,
Nurture the relationships you have developed and it never hurts to "pay forward".

Good stuff SADS,, I look for your posts now

Hit

 

[JrMack]

Looks like it wound up to be a windfall!! Ha Ha!! Might be better to trade up to something else ya might need and get the full value worth! Start getting the word out to your fishing buds- word gets around. JR

I can probably let it go quick for 25k, or swap "one for one" for a diesel clunker(African queen type ha ha) that I can comfortably shipwreck hunt off.....(its a 1977 ...41ft Morgan Out island Sloop with walk through)

Going out in a few minutes to bosuns chair up the mast to run the replacement fore stay. Then all I need to do is sew up the torn Jib and its 100% ( apart from the stolen electronics, but people choose their own anyhow)

Hit, I will pay a couple of locals when it sells

 

[Jason in Enid]

Post some pics of her so I can drool over it!

 

[SADS 669]

OK......

 

[SADS 669]

Just got the bill of sale from the owner, the sailboat is now mine. There is more to treasure than shiny coins and gold and silver bars, hopefully someone will give me 25k for a 50 k sailboat......
