From the way you've described the package, your price is too low! I would be up around $4900, or even higher, for a package that included a solid trailer, a late-model outboard, and a roller furling jib. I've looked at lots of Typhoons and the ones that come with these amenities regularly price out at around $7,000. Considering your location, cosmetic condition, and need to sell quickly, you would be well served at around $5,000. I just paid $3600 for a 77 Typhoon that needs a LOT of cleaning up (she had been sitting for 10 years). The boat has a very nice Triad trailer, but I decided to spend $200 on new tires because I didn't trust the old ones on the highway. I also spent $150 installing new seacocks, so I'm already up to $4000 spent invested in my boat, and I don't have an outboard or a roller! I kind of wish I had come across your boat instead.

Anyway, just a few thoughts for your consideration. Sounds like someone will get a great deal.

Small world. I was raised in Pittsfield. Did you sail your Ty Weekender on one of the lakes - Pontoosac or Onota

These days I often think of returning to the land of my youth. It was a more gentle, peaceful, carefree time and place. I worked as a lifeguard at the YMCA facility on Pontoosac Lake. The last time I visited (it was Dec several years ago) it looked like the YMCA facility had been abandoned. A shame. I have some great memories of Friday/Saturday nights with my best girl at parties on the lake.

For what little it may be worth, I agree with Chris' thoughts although I get the sense that you need to sell ASAP. If so, with that price, someone is going to get a sweet deal.

Thanks for posting. Your mention of Pittsfield brought back some very fond memories.

Born and breed. My Dad and I used to go ice fishing on Stockbridge Bowl (when the pike were not biting at Pontoosac Lake). Tip ups, warm chocolate milk, cold bologna sandwiches and talking about the mysteries of girls. The life

Brett, that is a very pretty Ty Weekender. She should go to a new home/caretaker quickly, especially at your selling price.
