Ericson 35-1, on CL

[Loren Beach]

No personal knowledge. Just noticed this on the Portland CraigsList. Looks like it's out of state, tho.
Looks like a 'project'.

Ericson 35.5 Sailboat project - boats - by owner - marine sale

35.5 Ericson designed by Alberg. This boat is a classic in very good condition Just needs paint, Varnish and put back together and will be sailing for another 50 years Full keel with a cutaway...

Looks really rough, "just needs paint, varnish, & put back together". Sounds simple enough.

Looks like about $2K worth of boat and parts sitting on a ~$5K trailer. I'm checking my math against the $12K asking price.

This boat is in very good condition. The ad says so.

Whenever you read "very good shape for age", it should enlighten the reader! If I were interested (Not), I would offer to take it off their hands for $5k....that is, they pay me! Ooops, make that $15K. Looks like the trailer may have very few miles, but decades of tire rot.

Shouldn't cost more than $35-40k and several years to half way restore.

That cracked me up! and 12k??? Well, a person an ask, I suppose.

Billie, What hull # is your boat ? I ask as I've been trying to find the date/hull# when Ericson made major changes to the 30+. I know it was in 1984 between hull # 632 & 637. Sorry bout the off topic request.

Hi Dave, I have hull # 652.

Thanks Billie, Looks like you have a 30+(2) which is post the design change, Is yours a 1985 ?

No, it's an 84. Hull ID = ERY30652M84E
(I'll change my signature to show that.)

Thanks, so yours was built in December 84, mine was built in August. I think the change happened in September but would love to find hull #'s 633 to 636 to know for sure.
