CD 28 for sale in Harpswell, ME

[cvaughan]

Noted this reasonably-priced CD28 while browsing the listings today. Had not seen it on this board as yet.
Seems like a bargain at $12,000. Although it is nearby, I have never seen the boat on the bay, nor do I know anything about it.

I'm oh so tempted to go take a look.......seems like a good deal unless there is an underlying major issue. Too bad the spec. sheet doesn't load.

Talked w/ broker out of curiosity today. Boat has been on the hard for 6-7 years, needs extensive work (deck issues - wet core & delamination). The price was too good to be true!

Luckily (for my husband) I am not anywhere near Maine. Recoring the deck is very straightforward although a bit tedious. As long as you have a dry place to work and access to power, it is very satisfying and requires minimal skill. You do, however need time and patience. If the upper skin is in good shape, it would make it even easier. The deck does have to be painted however.

I assumed that the boat needed to be repowered (and it may stilll) which is big bucks -- and a lot of labor on top of that.

If I was buying a boat at a bargain price, I would personally be fare more enthusiastic about a major recore project than repower.

Of course, in both cases, I would be considering it a DIY project.

Since it's finally a beautiful day here (60's instead of 20's), I guess I should be outside working on my own boat instead of daydreaming about other people's projects!
