Hi Everyone,

I keep checking the FS section here daily, along with various craigslist locations, I've never seen the selection on used 22's so bleak since I've started paying attention.

I'm looking for a used 22, either cruiser or angler. I have cash.

Musts: 4-stroke main, trailer.

Willing to travel anywhere in the lower 48 for the right boat.

Please PM me through cbrats.

Did I mention I have cash and am ready to buy now?

Thanks.
 
Am not sure about that, seems to me quite a few have come onto the market in the past month or so. What years are you looking for, and of course the big thing is people expect to get them very cheap, and that is not likely going to happen.

3 of them on our brats list have already sold (yet still tempt buyers). 1 of those was posted twice for some reason at different prices...then sold regardless. Another posting has been abandoned by the seller it seems. Is there a second list or another CDory site with them for sale I don't know about?

Price: Did I say anything about price? Cheap or otherwise? It would be foolish to say what I'm willing to pay before hand and is based on the boat.

Anything else you'd like to add?
 
You might want to use the craigs list search engine. There appears to be quite a few 22's on there nationwide. I don't know how many ads are current though.

Good Luck on your search.

Miles, the only thing I was talking about price, and I am sure you know that so many people expect to pay NADA prices and get very angry when they are told that is well under the price at which they will sell. I would not expect anyone to discuss prices per say.

M&M,

I know we are a ways apart but you should really consider our boat. Getting to be a great time for a trip to warmer weather soon for you! Osprey was a MN boat for several years and would be returning home. We have had several low ball offers but would welcome a serious one! You will not find one in better shape.

Hmmm.. Looks like THIS is the boat you're selling, NO?

Only a couple of $K MORE than it listed for about a year ago at a dealer (and probably sold for less to whomever bought it). Good luck with that one. Not many secrets on the brats...

May not be the same boat though unless you swapped out the engine (had Honda with 318 hours on it) and now a Suzuki (we don't spell it the way you do) with a lot less with a tach that doesn't work. That means without hooking up a new smart tach that reads the hours, there's no way to tell how many hours it's got on it. Starting to walk like a duck....:roll:

Then I apologize. Tell us a little of the boat's history please. How long have you owned it? Pictures? HIN? It'll be a lot easier to sell with some details.

This thread has demonstrated the disappointing tendency I've noticed for folks to make unrequested, sometimes uninformed, and too often negative remarks about others' boats, pricing, and intentions when it comes to buying or selling a boat using this site. Just saying. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way and I'm simply being too sensitive. To be clear, I'm aware of the concept of freedom of expression on the internet, and that I can choose not to read threads if I don't like them. And I'm not referring to situations where buyers/sellers ask for input in these matters. Respectfully, Mike.
 
Mike I have to wholeheartedly agree with you on this one. If you don't know the boat then its none of your business really. Now if you are talking about average prices and what one should expect to pay for a boat then that's a different matter.

Sorry charlie but you where out of line on this one. Unless you know that some one is pulling a fast one, and I mean KNOW, then speculation is best left alone.

As a example. there is a large bayliner sport fisher in my area that is for sale. If has two mains and two kickers. A friend asked me about that model in general, which is a great fishing boat, but I also know about that particular boat. It was under water for two days with the battery switches on and has a lot of damage to the wiring. Its also the same engines. The dealer that is selling it did not not mention that history to my friend when he looked at it. That is the withholding of a material fact. I was very disappointed with the dealer as they have a good rep in this area. Might have been just the salesman. either way the dealer knows about the sinking because they where involved in the recovery and repairs. I know a friend of the last owner how also helped with the recovery. but those are FACTS not speculation based on a old post on a web site.

We have the ability to help people find good quality boats and also to help them sell them. I sold my boat here on the brats and was always pleased with the commits made about my boat by people that KNEW my boat first hand.

Now what a person pays for a boat , or anything else in life, is the sole business of the buyer and the seller. and If I find a deal on a c-dory and then resale it here on the brats for more then that's the business of me and the other parties and no one else's. I have bought and resold 8 boats in my life and even thou I sold all but one for more then I bought them for , after a year or more of use, every buyer was happy with what they paid for the boats. If not they would have not bought it. Any item is worth what one person will sell it for and another will buy it for and nothing else.

No...you're not the only one. Mike and I have chatted about it, and it's a behavior neither of us care for.

In fact, we've discussed making the posts in the for sale forum read only - with followups only allowed by the original authors. Questions, suggestions and criticisms, can be handled via PM and/or email.
 
I am guilty on several occasions of criticizing a boats listing price.. Each time, I thought about it--and in some cases posted, other cases did not.

Recently I posted about the Tom Cat for sale at about its original cost. I have considerable knowledge about these specific boats, and what the selling price should be because of recently selling one. I have also seen several of the boats currently on the market which are similar. Now, any sale requires a willing seller and willing buyer. Setting a realistic price will be of a benefit to the seller, as well as a buyer. If a seller thinks his boat is worth more--then he can justify this, (this is to his credit and may help him obtain more for the boat). Or he can have a faster sale with a realistic price.

In this case, I gave some reasons why I felt that boat should be priced a bit lower. I received some positive feedback off list on those posts. Many times new boaters do not realize what determines the "value" of any particular boat. In the C Dorys there are many factors: Age, condition, Trailer, stove, kept in salt water, lift kept, fresh water boat, inside storage and damage etc. But also specific equipment. For example, a Tom Cat Trailer is far more expensive than a C Dory single axle yard trailer. There are changes made at the factory--and a boat with some of the upgrades is worth more.

I see many facets of this web site--social functions, learning functions, purchase functions etc--but the final decision of what "goes" is up to the owners of the site.

I hope that comments are not limited on the "for sale" boats. This is from the prospective of a person who has sold 3 C Dories in the last few years, and may be going to buy a 22 again. There are questions which are general interest. Unfortunately many people who list the boats don't come back to our site on a regular basis.

I agree. Seems strange to me that a "for sale" posting gets negative comments - a bit mean spirited.
 
(If I may just reply to those that pointed out boats for sale)

I guess I was extremely spoiled last year when I bought TWO CDorys in the span of 2 months:

1989 22-cruiser w/ Hondas 90/9.9 (both with cabin controls) for mid-teens
1991 16-angler w/ wonderful Suzuki 50hp EFI for 7.5K

I should have NEVER sold the 22...period.

That said, I'm not expecting the same caliber of deal, but am hoping to keep it out of the 40's. Not that the 22's I've seen for sale here in that range aren't worth that, just not to me. The reason being: I'm a more function than form type, bumps, scratches, cosmetic uglies, "old" (classic?) etc, etc, actually fits my personality and ethos better than "nice" and "like new" not that there ANYTHING wrong with nice and like new--I just don't like to pay for it. I hope that makes sense.

I'm the same way with my vehicles and homes and just about everything.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no one take offense to that. 22's priced in the 40's and higher are great boats, but an older, less pretty, fishing class, or pre-loved (ALOT!) suits me fine, along with a better deal.

Someone here clued me in on their 22-angler in Florida for sale in my desired range, one odd (to me) feature, drop curtain instead of solid bulkhead. Has anyone made their own and wish to direct me to a link about it?

PS: The 81 Classic at EQ was a steal, I should have moved on that sooner. I hope it found a good home.
