thanks for watching!

I could have watched another hour of that!

If your budget is $50K you should be looking at boats for $35 to $40K because there is always another 20 to 30% to survey, move the boat, fix this or that that needs fixing or upgrading.

That's great advice and that's sort of what I'm doing. My budget is 30k-35k so I'm looking at boats that are 25k and under. There's a C&C I've been watching for awhile which is just under 20k.

That has been my experience buying my Tartan 31. Got her for US$32.5K but with sales tax, survey fee, boatyard fees, refit costs, and all the miscellaneous gear to kit out the boat, the total came to over $45K on the vessel. My costs for the 2023 season, including dockage, haul-out and winter storage put the total cost to over $50K. So add another $20K to what you spend--if you pay $50K, plan on shelling out at least $70K.

@@thomas_dries Thomas, In 2016 I purchased a 1998 Catalina 28 mii for $28k. The reason is we desired a small pocket cruiser we could weekend on. My spouse insisted on a walk through transom and swim step, which the Catalina 28 has. These pocket cruisers have all the amenities of a larger cruiser, hot water, shower at the swim platform and in the wet head, propane stove and oven, etc... The Mii-s came with a 21 HP Universal that is very strong for this boat. Head room is about 6'2". The back double berth is tight, but oK for grand kids. V-berth is good for us old folks. Catalina built about 800 of these in two versions (mi and mii) and there are still many around for sale and sail! Not a large amount of storage, but enough for a few days of cruising. Nice thing about a Catalina is that the company is still around and parts can be sourced.

Good Stuff as always , do more of these as Spring and Summer, Please remember to mention the economical ones if you find good ones. Im speaking of 20-30k boats over 30" that you find acceptable for first time sailors.

As always, Thank You!

This was a super fun update, thanks for sharing! Perhaps if time and in the mix, a seasonal update on a few other budget bins would be nice, desired by majority of the viewers (not just me:-) ). Thanks as always for all that you do!!!

Wow, the depth of sailing knowledge just gushes forth in your videos. It was a great ride. I almost felt like I was really sailing...and buying something. Well maybe someday. Thanks Tim! Marty

Wow, thanks!

As soon as I read the title I thought of an 80’s Perry design! And when you mentioned Perry I KNEW you were going to say the Tayana 37 since that’s the stereotypical Bob Perry design and one of my dream boats. For right now I’m in the smaller cousin, the Baba 30, but it’s no less of an ocean crossing tank! Another boat I really like are the Gulfstar boats in the low 40’ range. Real solid boats under $50k

I called on that Pearson 36-2, The broker explained that the centerboard had been removed and glassed over... I didn't bother to go see it...

Another great vid. Thanks

Cheers.

I’d suggest looking at some of the more “fringe”, brands and designers. That’s where you’ll find the super deals. Because lots of folks don’t know much about non production boats, because there is less info to go on. I bought my old catamaran for a half of what an equal cat would have cost. My current monohull is a world class cruiser with 37 K miles. It cost under 40K. She turns heads wherever I go. Market, boat, builder and designer knowledge give you the tools you need to get the best prices. It does not take years to inform yourself.

That ‘84 C&C 41 is right in my backyard… St Pete born n raised. 🤙🏻 I’d be happy to go take a look at her if it would help out. Jest let me know.

Nice lines on the C&C. I want to sail to high latitudes but the full keel double enders don't excite me.

Can we have an episode on how much things cost. What I mean is if I'm shopping for a boat I'll be comparing boats that may have different equipment, with thing in different states of repair. If I'm planning on being short-handed, I'll want dinghy davits, windlass remote. One boat might have new sails, another sails that look like old saggy sheets that a shame old patched pillowcases. One might need new batteries, or be due an engine overhaul. Without having at least a clue how much remediation work will cost, and how long it is likely to take, it is difficult to compare boats.

always with excellent information about sailboats, what if I have the idea of buying a kit/plans to build a roberts 345 FPP sailboat, do you think it is a good idea?

Hey Tim, shopping here, could you do a piece on what it takes, costs, to get a boat from the site of purchase home? Boat prices in California are nuts (always have been) and, you're right, boats of all kinds and price points are all over the place (and for some reason in Florida, Mass, and Texas mostly, at least the ones I'm looking for), but the "deal of lifetime" boat may not be in my 'backyard' and a purchase price would have to figure in a very long sail home or a ride on a semi-transport trailer across the U.S. Mega-thanks!

hi Tim I live down here in NZ and would love to hear your thoughts on sea safe mid 2000 Blue Water cruising boats suitable for passages between the pacific islands and NZ/AUS, wonderful channel i have learnt so much thank you :) and to all you're subscribers who share there knowledge with us folks

Have you discussed full skeg for prop protection on your channel? If so can you direct me to the video? Why dont manufacturers always include them?

I imagine it’s hard work running two channels!

Thanks for another good video! One silly question that might help get more people sailing, more easily: What if a boat follows me home? What do I DO with it?! OK, sail it. I got that part. But what about mooring? Renting a slip at a marina doesn't fit for the bargain boat shopper. Seems like Lady K has a slip at a lower-cost yacht club? I don't think we HAVE those in Maryland, USA-- yacht clubs are all expensive here. Can I buy a huge anchor and a mooring ball and put it in somewhere out of the way of navigation but close to a public boat ramp, and access the boat by dinghy? Or should I rent a mooring ball from a marina? The classic mistake is to buy a cheap boat and then sink boatloads of money just keeping it; mooring costs can be huge, even before repair and maintenance costs on the boat itself. Can you help me avoid that mistake? Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Project boats like that Prout fro $40k are ridiculous... They should be paying ME to haul it away...

Currently in the market at this price range Catalina 320s are definitely high on my list,possibly a 380 if im lucky

You talk about cruising the Bahamas a lot, is there any boat you’d cruise the Bahamas and then hop around to say Panama, then to Hawaii, or Japan, Australia, etc.? In this 50K range?

Hi... I love your videos,but I am not a patron at this time I have been watching your videos now for 2 or 3 years and I'm an experienced sailor with 10 years as a Bowman forward deck weekly racing . Also did Marblehead Halifax for 4 days I also with a friend by the name of Ken and me Hans 4 years ago planned a 7-month trip down to the Bahamas and we crashed possibly hit a submarine and had to be rescued by the Coast guard. We are contemplating doing this trip again and would be going 50/50 on a boat to go down to the Caribbean in Bahamas I hope to be communicating with you in the future to assist us with this dream

I am shopping in this range. Really have been for a few years. Timing has not been kind and I had to let a DE38 slip out of grasp waiting for some projects to complete and probate to resolve. One thing I have found a few times in the $35 to $55K range is "custom boats" . It seems these boats are small in numbers ranging from a dozen or so to just one. Due to this, there is little known about their performance and their reliability beyond some stereotypical assumptions about the design. What are your thought on custom boats of this nature?

Man thats a hard no on any of those boats. Better, newer boats available around that price point.

I would not bother with yacht world for a boat under 50K. The brokers are a waste of time and will add 10-20% to the cost. Kijiji, Facebook and Craigslist will get you direct to the owner and to substantially better prices.

@jackwalby6257

As broker I find your response almost hilarious. Brokers exist because people don't want to deal with the general public. No really. We don't add to the cost. The value is the value period. We also keep deals together that otherwise fail because of all kinds of weird things by either seller or buyer. The extra value is a myth perpetuates constantly on the Internet. I'm all for owner's selling their own boats. But your perception is wrong.
