CS17 for sale - $4500

CS17 #121 is for sale.  The boat is ready to sail tomorrow and comes with all necessary gear - Trailer, pfd's, flares (don't ask) etc.  Hitch her up and go.

The boat is not pristine - She's covered a lot of miles and has been sailed hard without ever letting me down.  I never planned to sell her so she's got a real "workboat" finish and there are a few improvements I haven't gotten around to.

  Generally I would agree with you, but I've already got the go-ahead for the next few projects and one of them flies - So I'm already certifiable  :cool:

  Actually, I got an email today telling me not to sell the boat.  I'll see if I can ship it (in the meantime it's still for sale, though).

I thought about building a plane, but then I realized that a boat was better for my skill level.  I can swim, but I can't fly.

I have some video of Ken's boat in action on my YouTube site.

The buyer changed his mind. The boat is still for sale (price reduced if you move quickly). If you've sent me an offer before please reply - I can't find your email address.

And of course, if you haven't sent an offer but would like to, now's the time - Summer's right around the corner!

Hmm... Let's try this: Is anyone willing to buy my boat for one dollar?

Hey Ken what do you have for sails for sale? I am in the market for a complete set.

Have you tried listing your boat over at Sailboatowners.com, I've sold 3 boats over there in the past and all home built.

Thanks,

Jim

You've got a good point, Dave. I posted the boat on craigslist today and I've gotten an offer of $1000 so far. So that's a $500 trailer, $500 for the main, mizzen and mizzen staysail, and I throw in a free hull with all the rigging. This is just really sad. I'm sure somebody will do better eventually, I'm just sorry that I listened to the Massahusetts guy back in November. I was too stupid (greedy) to take the $3k offer and now I might as well just sell the sails and the trailer. That's probably what I'll do.

Jim - The sails are priced at $500 total and are in decent condition. There is a main, a mizzen and a mizzen staysail. The main and mizzen are sleeve-luff sails and all sails are white. Let me know if you're interested (thought they have the number 121 on them so that may reduce their attractiveness).
