Cushions were sold last season and we each drove 4 hours one way to meet. I can't even imagine shipping those.

Just wanted to see if you were able to pull the vanity off the boat over the weekend. I can send a money order for the items tomorrow (to include pulpit if the other guys doesn't respond) directly to you or if your prefer another method. Just advise. Thanks,
Brad

Okay Brad, I'm sorry to say that the pulpit has now been sold to the guy that came to look at it. He bought the pulput and lifelines. As much as you wanted the pulpit I'll be honest in saying that I wasn't looking forward to figuring out how to ship that sucker. Anyway shoot me a direct email and we'll start the process of shipping the other stuff to you. kleinbiker1 at aol dot com.

The pulpit is quite a deal tpo ship. I ended up shipping the one I had through greyhound frieght. I wrapped it in cardboard, then tapped pieces of wood to it so that it wouldn't get bent. It arrived just fine. I would use them again due to the low cost and the size of items they can ship.

Chris I have some interest in the stern pulpit... How are the stanchion mounting bases configured ( Parallel or perpendicular to the top rail ) I think there are two versions of the mounting brackets..
How much would you ask for the pulpit . Does it look to be in good condition??

The stern pulpit appears to be in great shape. Since it's such a static piece there really is no wear and tear on such an item unless it's bent which this one is not. I can get some photos if you like and post them here. These are $400+ from catalina direct, so I feel that $150 plus actual shipping costs, plus any paypal fees (if used) would be a fair asking price for it.

In regards to the stanchion mounting bases are you referring to those for the life lines or are you somehow referring to the mounting points for the pulpit?

Chris, what is the shape of the aluminium rubrail? I need just that rails. How much do you want and how much it could costs to EU/Czech republic?

I know that in the corners the rail is bended, but you can cut the corners and ship it all straight parts. I need just the straight ones.

Thanks

I am looking for...

(and I am sorry I don't have the correct "name" of it, but I will discribe the location)

"Inside" the boat, in the very, very front of the bow (on the inside, beyond the front cushions area), there is a triangular "teak" compartment. it consists of "2" Parts: the "frame" that is screwed to the boat, and a hanging "hatch" that has an "anchor" carved into it.

I am looking for the teak "frame" portion.

My got "rot" from being too wet.

Let me know and thanks

Hi Chris,
Do you by any chance still have the keel?
How much do you want for it?
Cheers

I sure do still have the keel, but it sure seems like a lot of work to get off the boat. I'll let it go for $100 but you have to come get it and remove from the boat yourself.

I´ll take the keel for 100. And I can go get it in November if it is fine by you. I´ll drive from St. Louis and November is when I will be able to do it.

If you can take a picture of it and the bolts and let me know the measurements of the tools I need to bring it will help me a lot, but I´ll sure take the keel.

I understand there is a swing keel to wing keel conversion and I know sometime in a distant future I will want to do it.

Cheers

What made this boat a basket case (without reading the entire thread as a late-comer)?

What is remaining of the boat?

Jean, probably the most important tool you can take is lumber - to provide bracing so the keel so it doesn't fall on anyone.

As someone here once said - it will change your life - in the fraction of a second.

Depending on when I sell the trailer, I'll need to have the boat gone by then. I'd imagine that getting the keel is going to be a pretty big task and like he said above, I'd certainly bring some lumber to prop it up. I don't know what it weighs exactly but I think it's like 750 or 1000 lbs...heck maybe even more. I haven't checked lately. Also even though it's bolted to the bottom of the boat, it's also fiberglassed in so I'd certainly bring a sawzall or something to get through the fiberglass. Eitherway, I can figure out what size the nuts are that holds it on and I can prob start hitting them with PB blaster to make things easier for you.

Last but not least I'd certianly like to get rid of the whole hull long before November if there is a chance you can move up your arrival time to retrieve the keel. I have to snap some pics of the trailer so I can also get some of the keel as well. It's certainly going to need some refinishing. I'd even recommend taking it all the way down to the metal personally especially if you're going through the trouble of replacing one.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

I was originally looking at this boat to buy last year, but after looking in all the nooks and crannies I saw too many signs of water getting into the core and that was just with the naked eye. I never had any intention of trying to rig this boat and sail it, although I'm sure I could have gotten at least a season or two out of it. I purchased it with the full intention of parting it out.

Right now I have lots of things off the boat and in my basement, but just haven't had the motivation to get them out there on the forums to sell. I've just had too many people ask for things and then once I pull them or get them ready to ship they flake out. I think I've had just as many people flake out as have bought things. I still have both sails, all the stanchions, some bulkheads, some cabinet doors, and all the interior wooded shelving and trim pieces. Still on the boat itself is the rear pulpit which I may still pull as well as both winches and the swim ladder. Because of all the flake outs, it's tough to get motivated to advertise stuff to sell. I'm not 100% unwilling to do so, but just less motivated. This of course doesn't mean that if someone paid me for something that I wouldn't ship it. I try to always keep a good track record of that and wide open lines of communications especially when money is changing hands.

Hi Chris,
still on the keel, do you have a marina with a lift close by?
I could drive it on the trailer there and get my truck under it and take the keel out.
I may be able to get to you around october 15th or sooner, I just need to check with the Admiral.
I may be interested in some of the rest of the stuff you have I´ll go on a shopping spree if you allow me to.
have a nice week

ah, thanks Chris for the info on what makes a hull a basket case. We have a lot of mold/mildew to eliminate as our boat sat for a couple of years before we bought. This summer has flown by with trying to upgrade, and perhaps we can purchase some pieces from you.

If you would send me your e-mail address: my e-mail is imkeene at "em-ess-en" dot com. Likely we will many different odds-and-ends to inquire about, esp over the winter.

A guy at our club removed his keel with a chainsaw. Once its off the boat, things are a lot more manageable than you might think. All you need is some sort of ramping arangement and a good winch, assuming you are putting the keel on a low-rise flatbed trailer.

Were I you, I would remove the keel (and anything of value) and get the hull out of your property before winter sets in. If your buyer never shows for the keel, you can still get your money out of it for scrap. If your buyer does show up, they can clean up the FG and whatnot left on the keel when you cut it free.

The cost of getting rid of the hull may take your breath away. Depends on local fees etc. Alternatively call 1-888-just-junk (or whoever your local mini-bin guy is) and get a bin you can saw up the hull and stuff it into. Some of those guys have a price-per bin, rather than a price per tonne.

Might be interested in the stanchions (all six) if they are still available. If possible can you please post some pics? I'm mostly concerned with the condition of the stainless, the length of the tubing, and the angle relative to the deck. Thank you.
