Fran:

The only (or perhaps one of many) problem with this sailboat is that it is not, as advertised, a Cape Dory sailboat.

[pete faga]

Maybe a hunter??
Nice price

[ronkberg]

It looks like it could be a Cape Dory Intrepid 28 or Intrepid 9M.

I may have spoken too soon.

The Intrepid 28 has a fin keel.

Another mystery to be investigated

[Jim Walsh]

It's an Intrepid 9 meter. The 9M was a redesign of the Intrepid 28.

[Russell]

Didn't all the intrepids have cored hulls? I know the big ones did. That would be a serious concern given the hull damage.

[pete faga]

Title reads cporoo31m79h
Hin is glassed over
10 m were made 1979-81

[Jim Walsh]

Wonder if it can be sold with an obscured HIN?

[pete faga]

Probably have to put the hin back on the transom and then make an appointment with the CG.
This happens all the time when you home built a boat with a engine

[Russell]

One has to wonder WHY the HIN is glassed over, was there previous hull damage that had to be repaired?

I mean, its $50, so not like its a bad deal or anything, and one would hope someone buying a boat like this is well prepared for all sorts of unexpected things.
