I am wondering if anyone has any information about this 58 LRC and could tell me anything about it.
Thank you Eric,
I appreciate the response. I know it is being auctioned off on the 17th and the highest bid currently is $49k however i was aboard Emerald Princess over the weekend and was trying to find some other 58 LRC's to compare. I have been trying to find out what they are actually selling for versus what they are listed for.
Thank you so much for looking those up for me. That’s a huge help for me.
For 50K the right person can have a 58LRC to enjoy for pennies on the dollar..... The right person being a guy with a van full of tools and the skills to use them, combined with the schedule and budget of a recently retired person who did allright for himself.....:D
If this was 2022 I'd be on it.......
It isn't going to sell for $50K
Here is the current ad and listing by the brokerage firm listing Floridian:
https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/197...uiser-3574824/
With 6000 HP one should be able to water ski behind it. At least they are naturals and should be economical.
I don't want to throw coldwater on anybody's ambition, and the restoration of a Hatt is a noble cause. As every boat owner on here knows, "stuff" costs about 5 times what you think it should... and if you can't do the work yoirself... 10 times as much as you think it should. All 30 year old boats require 10 times more work than you think they should. Think about it. In a factory setting, it took a crew of many men the better part of a year to build one, so it will take 1 man many, many years to restore it. Just reading through the ad for the boat, I see an easy 75k, without addressing the electronics or cosmetics! A big problem is finding a place that allows DIY work, and finding insurance for an "under repair" vessel. No insurance, no dockage. It's certainly a worthwhile project, but it's going to take an ongoing big wallet to do it satisfactorily. Nothing looks worse than amateur work on a classic.
