Lovely boat, amazing what you get for this kind of money these days. I keep reminding myself I already have a perfectly fine boat.......
 
I'm surprised that you're selling her already. I remember when you got her back in 2010. Nice looking boat.

As it turns out I am not able to use it as much as I anticipated. Work is keeping me at sea more than I thought. I am hoping someone else will enjoy her this upcomong season since I won't be able to :(

Thanks Jim. It really is a shame where the market is compared to 5 years ago. A great opportunity for a buyer though...
 
Could be worse. I bought my 1979 43C in 2003 and paid about 155k for her. Fortunately I plan on keeping her longterm.

I looked at a boat that was purchased in 2008 and then the owner got a deal on a cancelled order for a new boat. He figured he would just turn around and sell this one. He turned down several offers that would have been a small loss but he was trying to recoup more. He eventually sold it over 3 years later for almost 300K less than what he paid for it.
 
Yup. I had seen the boat I bought 2 or 3 years earlier on Yachtworld, and they were asking over $200k for her. The owner had passed away, and his widow and son were selling it. When I finally bought it, they were very difficult to work with - as though they were somehow angry with me that the prices had dropped. They were fortunate to have sold it when they did.
 
So....we all agree this a ton of boat for the money right? right?
 
Hello

May I ask what kind of fuel burn I could expect on this boat for various operating speeds? Nice boat.
 
When a new launch in 2010 at 60 million, is currently listed at 40 mill, tells the story Mr OB.

Please let me know if you have any interest in this trade. I await your reply. WW Gilman
 
A friend of mine in Miami sold his 43C several months ago for $81,000. The boat was nice and the 6V92 Detroits had high quality overhauls 150 hours ago. He paid $40,000 for the 2 overhauls.:(
 
Please let me know if you have any interest in this trade. I await your reply. WW Gilman

Sorry, no interest in the trade. I am willing to accept cash offers.
 
Anybody know if this boat could head north on a Truck?
