l am a Ocean going Captain i think this Boat worth $25k USDollar.Not a penny more.

Priced way high for what it is.

I bought our 1976 Marine Trader 40’ aft cabin back in July. For $8,000. The 120 Leman runs great looks great. In fact, paid for the boat, started it up and drove twelve miles home. No problem. Here in Florida slip rents and insurance rates and yard fees are so high people are dumping these old trawlers.

@@CharlotteHarborFisherman Not now days. There are three trawlers all 34’ between 10k and 2k right now. Rents can be more than the value of the boat. Plus, offer cash today. Force them to make up their mind.

I wonder if that old ford motor had a turbo or if it could handle a small one? Hit me back

I like the Sea Alice, can you get información

If I was quoted $15K for Bimini and other covers , I reckon I'd be heading to you tube to learn how to do it myself!!!!! Even if you fork out a grand for equipment you'd still be way ahead......and you may have even started a new business!!!!!!!!!

He ment $1,500. Nobody would pay $15,000. for 12' of canvas. 😂

You said no water intrusion but I noticed definite leakage around both port lights in the master. Today the boat isn't worth the asking price, but still seems a good value at about 30 K.

Be very very careful with these Taiwanese vessels. They used a lot of hardwood which does not age well in heat and high humidity. Before you invest a dime check the humidity of all the wood in between the fiberglass. If I lived in the Great Lakes I would definitely consider one of these. In the south absolutely no. Your boat will rot out from under you.

Is Balsa wood a hard wood? Thought that was what they used I heard it was like cork and prone to do just what you described.

@jimfromm3981

11 ай бұрын

I think I answered this already. But in case... Yes Balsa is a very light clear wood and was used by most high end builders as fiberglass adheres to it well. However, today, foam is much better, as it is stronger, more flexible, and bonds to fiberglass as good or better than balsa. Hard woods for the framing, such as oak, teak, and mahogany, tend to hold moisture and have too much oil to adhere to fiberglass over time and heat. They will rot if left in heat and high humidity. The rotting is the old boat smell you often encounter in vessels. For the right price, I'd buy one of the vessels if I lived on the Great Lakes, but not for the deep south.@@CharlotteHarborFisherman
