Do you know if it sold? Last I spoke to the seller, on March 20, he got another offer for 55K and they were closing the following week.

Thank you for the info! I'll for sure keep it in mind.

Doing all the work myself was what I had in mind but after discovering all the extra repairs needed, the right price for me became substantially less than the seller was willing to accept. And besides, I'd be a bit concerned about the hull, rotted balsa core above the waterline and delamination...

It's embarrassing to say, but if I didn't hire a good, honest surveyor, I would have laid out 55K for it and would have been very sad. :(

I've been wondering about how this hole got here and if it is of much concern. It's under the sink in the head and about 6"-12" above the waterline from what I was able to estimate. There was fresh water leaking from it at the time.

It's not just what the surveyor said, I went back 2 days later and spent the time I should have initially, but due to my inexperience in boat buying I didn't, and also conveniently the worse areas were very dark and on top of that I forgot my spotlight. From what I see, if someone were to pay...

I was willing to give it that love Pete, actually I still am. I've been in negotiations with the seller before even joining this forum, mostly why I joined. I was previously going to upload pictures for advice but after a little research decided there was no need. I'll keep it short because I...

I thought too, but sadly it's been neglected and is in need of way more than cosmetics.

I guess it boils down to "whatever floats your boat", lol!

Haha, no worries, I have definitely been and will continue enjoying my 21 footer whether or not I get a bigger boat. I don't intend on getting rid of it. Besides, if my next boat is big enough, I'll use it as a tender, lol!

You're absolutely right Pete, wait to long and it'll never happen. My plan is by the time I'm 60, which is in a little more than 5 years to have a decent trawler and the know hows to at a minimum cruise the islands, if not more. The good news is the wife is okay with all my dreaming, she thinks...

Thank you, I've been looking in Lake Champlain and will definitely look into further now.

Thank you all. I will keep everyone posted once I start seriously looking into buying a trawler, as we know it requires lots of $$$, in the meanwhile I'll continue soaking up the great information and advice this forum has to offer. Ruvel

Hi everyone, as you might have guessed, my name is Ruvel. I'm from Queens, NY. I'm very new to boating and currently own a Crownline 210 CCR which my family and I have enjoyed for the last three seasons. It's trailered so it's been around including the Florida Keys but I do hope someday owning a...
