Not a night mare in my opinion just possibilities. |
TOTALLY agree. If the price stays low enough, I'll be driving to NC next week. Outside of the unlikely/fixable wet balsa, there is nothing to our CD22 - simple and easy.
The motor certainly is a concern, but I'm a closet motorhead so bring it on.
I'm guessing it'll end above my willing to pay level, but if not I have plenty of time and a F150 full of gas...

Really, maybe we should all buy that boat for Chris. But to make it a sufficient challenge for him, we'll need to roll it over on the freeway on the way home or tow it under a really low bridge.

Boat Angel Ministries are well known, and the boat is listed on their E-bay group of boats currently for sale. As with E bay sale, I would want to use due diligence--but I think this is legit--and at the current price of 10K is quite a buy.
The E-bay site says Colorado Registration, but there are NC numbers. So no telling where the boat is. Transport cost--could be as much as $4,000 or so if it has to be shipped on a flat bed trailer. It may be less. If you win the boat you would have to get bids on shipping.

| The boat is in Bolivia, NC according to the listing. So you would have to figure on shipping from that point. It's just 30 miles from Wilmington, NC. |

$10k is beyond my 'fun' money range for a project like this, but I have no doubt that the boat is worth it.

I kind of wonder. I mean, I know that on one level, to a specific kind of person, it would make a worthy project (someone who has plenty of time that doesn't have to be "worth the dollar amount," who has tools, who is handy, and who perhaps has engine or a spare trailer, etc.) And it's obviously a good design.
But on a larger "level" and counting time/stuff.... I'm not so sure it is worth over $10,000. Just adding up engine, trailer, buffing job or maybe paint if the gelcoat is too far gone, possible core work, upholstery, possible kicker, canvas - plus all the other boating gear that often comes with a boat - and I'm coming up quite a bit higher than many good/older/used C-Dory's are going for. And that's not even counting one's time.
True, if you bought a new trailer, new engine, new canvas, etc. you would have all new things, not the 15-year-old ones that might come on a "reasonably priced" older/decent boat, but....
I'm sure that someone could buy it and make it a fabulous boat again, so I don't mean to doubt that, but just not totally sure it's "worth" it in an objective way (if that makes sense). I would be doing the math even if it were free. But then everyone is different. And some people love to take on a project (it is satisfying).
Will be interesting to see what happens, and I hope the new owner is either already a Brat or comes to join us. Sure would be nice to see it seaworthy again. |

Are we all looking at the same boat? We have "fun project" to "hell hole" all from the same pictures 
I see a boat and trailer that need a good cleaning and wax job. Wiring harness and new interior coverings. Other then that it looks great. Might need a new motor but I doubt it. And any cdory could have some wet core but most don't. that being said $1ok is a great price and 15 is ok. has anyone seen a running 22 for under 20k this year?

Maybe I was being too hard on it. And plus, since the bids are up over $10k, then that is the definition of "worth it" (i.e. what someone is willing to pay for something on the open market).
Anyway, sorry if I sounded too negative - I wondered whether I should post my last comment. Probably bought one or two too many project boats and that influenced me  |

| Just watched the auction close. Bid was at 10,100 with 2 mins to go. Jumped to 11,700 in the last 10-20s. Strange bidding since one could have gone to 10,200 and probably have gotten it. |

Winning bid: US $11,700.00 [ 45 bids ]
A lot of the strategy in ebay bidding is to bid at the last second to avoid over-bidding/over-priceing an item.

| $11,700 was winning bid. I thought long and hard about possibly bidding on her. Sat down and started writing a list on what I could see needed done and decided to let someone else have the fun. |

I think somebody had an automatic bid in place up to $11,600, so whoever was trying to bid at the last minute had to bid up to the auto-bid.
That was fun to watch, I hope BRAZO got it! I think at $11,700 it is a great deal. This is the kind of project C-dory that makes alot of sense. It had enough grime to make alot of potential bidders uneasy, but doesnt look like it needs very much. That motor may even be a runner with new wiring. |
