Thanks Marinarius. It seems like West Coast asking prices have been a lot higher this year. The seller of the 32-3 I was looking at listed it at $34.5k. It's not in as good shape as Ben's.

Thanks, Goldenstate. Interesting. I loved the boat. I just couldn't justify the costs that would be needed, including pulling the rig, after the $30k.

Ben-vt, Also, what was the asking price? I may have missed it in a previous post. It will help me as I try to make a purchase as well. Thank you, Joe

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has commented on our situation here. Vince, Christian and Loren get special kudos for insight into their own experiences with similar condition vessels. I am very grateful for finding this forum, and the very special Ericson owners community! Not...

I bet it's a wonderful feeling to watch that rig fly, and not have that creeping feeling in the back of your mind. Congrats.

Yep, that's the one.

Hi Loren, About how much did that run you here on the West Coast? Cheers, Joe

Yes, they've included 32-200s on there as well. The average price of the 12 sold comps on the list is $29,600 going back to 2018.

Yes, they provided a report going back to 2018, PDF attached. But again, I'm not sure what parameters they put in. Where would you suggest looking for actual sold comps? The only ones I've seen are from BUC, but I believe you need to be a member/broker to get them, or at least have a...

I meant $48k all in, after $30k purchase, and $18k in deferred maintenance and upgrades. Agree, though, if I had $75K to spend, I'd be looking at a different era of boats!

Hi Loren, Yeah, that's another great point. Engine access does seem to be an issue in the C&C -- the current owner said he removed the hot water heater in order to be able to service the impeller. I'm also not crazy about the V drive, just seems like you're introducing a lot of friction and...

It is a nice looking boat! Based on the comps I've seen over the past 6 months, $30k seems to be within 5% +/- of most recorded sales, at least according to the ones I was able to access through the broker. I don't know if the screen they used was somehow limited to come to that number in the...

Hi Christian, I was hoping you would reply, thanks -- I loved the Hawaii and back video.This is a very good point, and I'm definitely not afraid to tackle these jobs. I would just rather not if I can get it addressed before the sale is finalized. One of the things that makes me lean toward the...

Agreed. Great point. I guess it's just nice to start off closer to those items having been replaced than not. I actually hadn't considered the difference in displacement, thank you. Heavier may be better in SF Bay, we routinely get 25+ in summer.

Apologies if it was unclear, we are pretty sure the issue is a cable, and not the transmission itself. The engine was fine once in gear, it was just getting it in and out that seemed dicey. To 1911tex's point, yes, I know the comparison between a surveyed boat and one we haven't seen isn't...
