A quick google search shows it at $699K. I assume that was a good price, all things considered.

Yes, I was just looking at that. Hard to know, but I assume it is a recent posting.

Cape Ross is well loved boat. We see her often in the summer loaded up with multiple generations of people having fun on the water.
Thanks, Conrad
Good story on her and her restorer/owner. If my life was in the correct position I'd go to see her for purpose of purchase. It was love at first sight for me when I focused on her picture and reviewed the link. Chemistry in boat love, although different than chemistry in people love, is still similarly rooted in the magic of "attractions" that bring two together and can produce a happy union. Ya just get "that" feeling!

Beautiful refit.
Must have cost $$$... Guess at least $250k.
No indication of the asking price.
Everything above the deckedge is new welded aluminum, plus a whole new interior and all new systems. The conversion was intended to turn her into a small passenger vessel, meeting all requirements that entails. That didn't work out and she's now a family cruiser based south of the border. Your guess is off by a factor of 5-6

Greetings,
Mr. R. 10K hrs of work does seem like an obsession or a perfect way to keep occupied. (I think the latter). But if he's asking $1.75 million my math works that out to be $175/ hour-materials. Hmmm....Maybe I'm in the wrong business...

RT "asking" is the operative word.

How did you get $1.75 Million from an asking price of $699K ?
I remember reading about and seeing photos of this boat some years ago, I think put up by OFB of this forum. Where south of the border is the boat based these days?

I'm going to step out on a limb and assume he was going from Tad's estimation of the refit cost. Asking price is 699k and the actual cost to build the boat was north of 1.5 mil

Mr. A. Indeed ASKING is the operative word. Mr. W. "How did you get $1.75 Million..." Didn't you read the link posted in post #1472?

"It's tough to part with a labor of love, but Dolmage has the vessel up for sale. He's asking $1.75 million as is and suggesting the finished vessel could go for about $2.3 million. The best-case scenario would be to sell it and still operate it for charter work."

Hummm - Goes to show ya the lasting validity a quoted "asking" price can sometimes have - not!

Greetings,
OK, $699K. That's still $70/hr-materials. I still say I'm in the wrong business. Jeepers, I think I'm doing well to pay myself $0.37/ hr. What crash? Wait for it.....

This link that I posted shows the Boat "after" refit (2007) and in current state when it was for sale for $699K (or best offer)

I can open that link... but, can't get it to show "for sale" boat listings???

If you can open it, and it shows the light blue banner ... wait a while, it takes some time to appear, even with a high speed connection.

Restoring a historic wooden boat is priceless...
...even if in the end it becomes worthless.

Thanks West. I'd tried again and even though blue banner would come up immediately - would not open to pages no matter how long I waited! Not needed now that you posted ad. Thanks, again.
Bet 575K +/- cash and some one would cruise away with that beautiful big baby!

I don't think that the Cape Ross was ever on the market at $1.75 million, but a few years back I recall seeing her for sale with a $1 million asking price. Don't recall when though.

The following link is for one of the more interesting and less expensive boats we saw at Trawlerfest today.
2004 Wetsig C Tug Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
Note the stern hatch for a drive in garage for the tender. Perhaps that will solve the dinghy theft problem.

Is the same boat that was in the classified here, and that Car Dude went to see?
Brooklin Boat Yard is building an "interesting" boat for a client. A 74 foot sailboat with design collaboration between German Frers and Frank Gehry. Here's a shot of the overhead in the main saloon. Glass inserts in that latticework. Wild! Not my cup of tea.
Heck with tea... Maybe that overhead design is due to someone's couple o' cups of Vodka!

It's tea alright, but the kind of tea served at Ma Browns in Negril!
