Andy B Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Edit September 2022: I am re-tooling this thread to create an informal catalogue of listings of Core Sounds that I see on Craigslist. I try to get them all but please feel free to add if you see one I missed. I usually don't include any listings for boats that are already listed on the forum (either in classifieds or the B&B forum) because I don't want to step on any seller's toes. * * * * * I like to search Craigslist and other sites for small boats I'm interested in. I haven't seen any Core Sounds for sale since last fall. Two CS-17 Mark 1 have recently popped up. First is one in Burlington, North Carolina for $6,000. https://greensboro.craigslist.org/boa/d/burlington-core-sound-17-sailboat/7463155255.html Second is one in Miami for $5,500. https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/boa/d/miami-core-sound-17/7466755916.html Both have limited pictures but seem to be in good condition and come with motors and trailers. I don't have an interest in either or have any information other than the listing, but thought it was worth sharing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stewart Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Wow. I would have hoped our boats are worth a lot more than this. I was planning to list mine for 10k with a motor and trailer. Assuming these are actually in good condition these sellers are really losing on these and whoever gets them is getting a heck of a deal. Guess i'll just hold onto mine then.

Andy B Posted October 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Core Sound in Eugene Oregon. Looks like a fall fire sale--two boats (one not a core sound) for $2,500 each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy B Posted February 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Not a Core Sound series, but B&B and too pretty not to share. Here's a Lapwing 16 for sale near Tampa, Florida. 2016, with trailer, $14,500. https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/boa/d/wimauma-lapwing-16/7582665280.html She's beautiful! Edit: The listing says Lapwing 3, so according to the B&B builder's log, Hirilonde? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 I switched numbers after buying the plans. When I ordered my sails I had plans #20. I switched the sail numbers later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B Posted March 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 From Orlando Craigslist, in Avon Park Florida. A 2005 Core Sound 17. Recently repainted and trailer spruced up. Comes with a staysail and a tent enclosure. No motor. $5,500. I emailed the owner and he's responsive. One of the pictures was from an old posting of the boat for sale in 2016 when it was listed for $6,200, for sale in Morehead City, North Carolina. https://fortmyers.craigslist.org/chl/boa/d/avon-park-core-sound-17/7599441465.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
