    Default Van.CL 12' Sailboat

    http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/nv...540449289.html

    Boat sails trailer. Sounds good.
    Cold moulded. Jay Benford design.
    Should I or shouldn't I? I'd like a cuddy cabin, but, still be good for honing my skills
    and I could probably sell it for that when I'm done.
    Of course if I do buy it, I'll find the boat of my dreams the next day but I'll be $1,200 short.

    Comes with oars, so that would burn off a few pounds rowing up the Fraser River and scare the hell out of me coming back down.

    looks like a good little boat - $1200 ain't bad, comes with a trailer, no?

    Have you lost your mind? Buy it instantly. The trailer is worth about 600 dollars new, the sails about the same, at least... you're getting the boat for free. If you used this little guy for a couple of years and put a coat of paint on it, you could get the same money back.

    Looks good. If you're doubtful, negotiate the price, maybe you'd feel better.

    Looks like a great deal by any measure.

    It says OBO, offer him 950...that would be a steal... if you are without a boat at the moment, cry some tears while you negotiate.
