  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

1981 Fairchild Scout
This is probably the best Fairchild Scout available, maybe the best ever. It was told it had an open checkbook and I believe it. It even had a cockpit and back door added, and was basically stripped to the walls and hull when redone by Maine craftsman David Martin.

I have just ordered a new 18,000 lb capacity trailer for this boat at the cost of over $17,000. I prefer this trailer be purchased with the boat. This give the purchaser the option to move it where they wish when they wish, be it inland lakes, rivers, canals, or coastal area. Of course it is also good to use for maintenance, which is the reason I have ordered this. I am shipping it to a service yard for routine varnish, bottom paint and zincs which are due now. If this boat does not sell, I may trailer it to do the Erie Canal this year.

I love this boat, but we are actively looking for something in the 60ft range for our Harbour Town Slip in HHI.


Asking $192,000 including custom trailer under construction now at Wesco Trailers. Please email jdavidf1@gmail.com or PM for inquiries.

Here is the previous brokers write up noted below:


WINDOWS is a Custom-built fiberglass 30' Scout which is an exceptional vessel, having had the benefit of a major refit. She essentially has a reconstructed stern section which includes a swim platform and transom door with small aft cockpit for easy boarding and a redesigned wheelhouse with port and starboard opening side doors and an opening windshield. Her interior is refinished with all new wiring, lockers, a galley, new head and berth cushions. Please read the listing above. Everything in this vessel is new including new Yanmar 75 hp diesel, new tanks, new electronics and wiring, etc. If you are looking for something unique, something with a fiberglass hull but the look of a 1920-1930 era Elco-style motoryacht or cruiser, WINDOWS will be your vessel. Her workmanship is some of the finest this office has seen. Please call us for your inspection of this vessel, and thank you for your interest.

The forward end of the wheelhouse is new and features outward opening corner-windows, and a fixed windshield (this was done because the original Scouts had inward opening windows which caused horrific leaks and rot).

Although this boat is mostly fiberglass, it has enough wood to impress a couple of wooden boat legends, Bill Mayher who I purchased the boat form and Maynard Bray. These were taken on the way from Brooklin Boatyard where the boat was kept to Hinckley at SW Harbor.

Note restoration pictures that took place in 2013 t0 2016. The Stern was professional modified and now has a small cockpit and swim platform. I can't say enough good things about Dave Martin and his craftsmanship.

Trailer will be finished either this or next week, and ready to move to have varnish work, bottom paint refreshed, zincs etc. on to new owner.

New price 172 obo.
 
Was the engine replaced ? You don't see many 40 year old boats with 100 hours on the engine.

Yes note the restoration and yard work pictures. It was described to me as an open check book project. New everything including 75hp Yanmar.
 
Good news trailer has arrived.

Boat pictured on old trailer is the current boat prior to restoration and modifications. Sure wish I'd purchased that trailer but that was well before I'd own a Scout.

What color would be best for the bottom? I like the Chris Craft copper but what would be better? I could not believe it would look good but it was white before. Interesting choice right?

We always do black with a red boot stripe on our Scout but copper sounds good to me. I only use Trinidad so I'm limited to one of it's 4 colors.
 
Just saw it at Hinkley. Did not get a close look though.

That looks like a very satisfying project.

I'm generally not a fan of copper color, but think it looks great on your boat.

What is the asking price?

Hi, yes the asking is posted above. It is not your typical Fairchild Scout by any measure. And when Hinckley is through with it should be stelar. I know that bill will be stupid money, but if you want the best sometimes you just pay it. The $18,000 trailer is way overbuilt and is brand new, with the driver saying it pulls like a dream. Let me know if you have an interest. I am thinking of taking it to HHI where we have a slip in Harbor Town, then up to Charleston, the lakes, and back to Lake Keowee, SC. It would be the perfect boat to meander up the intercostal, the Erie Canal, finger lakes etc. Or back to Maine and Brooklin Boatyard where it was purchased.

Wow, that's a lot I pass.
