Hi, new member here. I've seen several offerings on these subject models on Yachtworld or Sailboatlistings, but short of visiting the yachts themselves, the pictures and writeups don't tell the whole story. I could visit them, but it is difficult to decide which one(s) to go see. I live near Dallas, and these offerings are all over the country (and some out of the country). I've seen models listed from ~20k to ~60K. Is it possible that some of the listings have a history which members of this forum could provide illumination on? I'd like to limit my travels to only those offerings that hold reasonable promise.
I'm not afraid of a little work, as I'm a retired engineer, woodworker, and metal shop owner. But I'd prefer to buy something that is sailable right away, and requires only those things I'd prefer to upgrade later.
For example, there are three 32-200s that have a shoal draft currently on the market. One in San Francisco, one in Alameda, CA and one in Pensacola, FL. Priced from 37.5k to 39.9k.
There are two 32-3s with a shoal draft keel. One in Venice, FL, and one in West Haverstraw, NY. Priced from 19.9k to 33k.
I've written the brokers, but they haven't responded. I also suspect that the responses will be less than totally useful.
Anybody have a history report or recommendation on any of these models?
Thanks.
