Sure no problem driving to freight company.
Could they deliver to a Marina?
Do you have any safety lines left?

Thank you. Sounds fair. If you assure us that none of the bases or tubes are bent then we have a deal. How to send payment?

 Thank you. When/if you have a minute (no rush) the pictures that most interest me are ones showing the worst condition stanchion(s). To show angle you might shoot a pic of one being held upright with the bottom flush to the floor. I know the C25 deck angle and can extrapolate. Thank you for offering to measure length as well, that would be useful. Finally, if any are bent, dented, scratched, or otherwise deformed I'd be grateful to know.
Thanks again.

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

All the statchions are still avail and sitting in my basement. The stainless all appears to be in good shape and I can certainly provide pictures. I can measure the length but it might be difficult to measure the exactt angle of the the tubing.

Here are a few pictures. With and without flash. I'll take $100 plus shipping for all 6 of them.

I also have the outer with the glass as well for all 6. Example below. Are you interested in it all?

The tubes are all straight but one or two of the bases have a slight bend to them, but very slight.

Here are some pics showing the slight bends. Please excuse the dog...he has to always see what I'm up to.

Edit: here is what someone wrote to me offline about them....The bend in the stanctions is mostly normal as long as the metal isn't kinked. Each location will be angled differently for each boat since no two hull/deck joints are exactly the same. In the factory they put them on, then bent to fit

Almost all stanchions are going to have those small bends in the flange if they are more than a few years old. You could either pound them flat with a BFH or take them to a machine shop and have them flatten them with a press.

Another good example of why you don't grab the top of the stanchion when trying to stop your boat at the dock!

Yes, I am aware of that. The question is one of degree. The local machine shop quoted $30-$40/stanchion to have them pressed b/c they say it requires separating and re-welding the stanchion tube to do it in a way that does not weaken the base. Not necessarily a deal breaker but something taken into consideration.

I don't think these are bent enough to worry about at all. When on the boat they appeared perfectly vertical. Likely this bending is from the factory. The bents are so slight that I don't think it is going to cause any problems. Eitherway let me know what you'd like to do.

So the folks that were suppose to take the hull from me have flaked out. I have sold the trailer and am now on a time crunch to deliver it. I was left with only one reasonable choice. It's a total pain in the neck but better than paying the land fill to take it as is....

I'm surprised no one asked for the tanks (water and poop). huh. I don't need them,but I thought they were on a lot of people's to-do lists.

Chris, I saw a teak coaming box trim ring in one picture - if they are not glued on - would the pair be available?

Didn't see any tanks in the pics, but save the chainplates, stainless hose clamps etc. Bilge pump too (I just rebuilt mine.)

Perhaps the forward bulkheads re" a previous thread showing someone who took those almost completely out of the boat altogether.....
:O)

There were no galley drawers per se. There are some galley DOORS that I saved.

If this boat was all wood it might be fun, but with all the fiberglass it totally sucks! I'm all dressed up in a one piece suit taped at the wrists, wearing gloves and a full respirator. Even then I'm still having to soak in the tub afterwards to get the fiberglass out of my skin.

No poop tank on this one, but I'm doing my best to save the water tank.

The boards on each end of the water tank are held in place by a single piece of fiberglass. Take a cut off wheel and cut through where the aft board meets the hull and it will come right out with the tank close behind.

I ended up getting it out intact actually. It's on the pile of rubble currently.

Sorry, not yet. Please scroll to the photos above to see what I've doing the last several days.

I should be able to get you an answer early next week.

As an option, I could have this thing delivered to Charleston, SC free of charge if you were interested in driving there by chance. LMK.

Well after many hours and many dulled sawzall blades I'm left with this...

And of course this pile....

I then got a friend to tow the trailer down to the scrap yard to unload the keel. I told him I would split with him whatever we got for the scrap metal. I'm now left with this....

It will be united with it's new owner late Friday night.

So anyone want to take a gander as to how much that keel weighed. I know I was certainly surprised at it's weight.

About 1900lbs? I'll email tomorrow or Fri regarding the stanchions. It looks like we're good to go. I Just need to measure mine to make sure. Thank you.

Sounds good on the stanchions....

Anyway the keel was a whopping 2300 lbs. For some reason I was thinking it was in the 1000 lbs range. Also it appears scrap prices are up too. They paid us $275 for the keel. It was an unexpected surprise but certainly helped to offset the $40 in sawzall blades I burned through cutting this damn thing up.
