Any chance you kept contact with $900 Catalina Sailboat guy? I wonder if he found any major issues after purchase?
@sailingsoleКүн бұрын
I did keep in contact, the engine started but not easily and it is likely the normal issues; old or dirty fuel, clogged fuel lines etc. For the most part it seems like he scored pretty good but it will still need to be gone through.

Classic plastic baby! Funny how some of those plastic boats are still floating 40+ years later right! Fiberglass is more durable than people think and they look like that because homeless people were most likely squatting in them after they were abandoned.

I've been canoeing for over 40 years and $10 dollars for each canoe was insane! That first Old Town sells new for around $1,500. I bought mine around 1990 for $800 and sold it in 2010 for $900. Both of those canoes had the seats with cane inserts, which tend to deteriorate quickly. Mine had the nylon web lacing that was still in good shape when I sold it. Of course this auction was down on the coast where everyone prefers kayaks over canoes. Anywhere inland and those canoes would've brought around $300 to $500 each at auction and even more on Craigslist!

Dammit if that boat is truly worth $100,000 then I could have bought it. $31,000 was maximum bid then I would have bid $32,000 in hopes that could win it then sell it after I buy the big boat, for what it is worth then try to get another boat. Is there a website that people can sign up to bid, for boats at the auction? Unfortunately the auction is somewhat far from where I live. If I somehow end up participating in an auction, and winning a bid then I can travel to the USA, and pay, for it in person, or on a website if this is possible, for me to do.

I’m sure they try to collect. The boats are stored for a long time before they are auctioned likely for legal purposes but if the fees and liens are never paid then they are trying to get rid of the boat another way and recoup some money before they have to spend money to haul them out and send them to the landfill. I recently learned there is a state fund for this purpose alone but I don’t know many details.

Wow, thank you for showing us how the boat auction works out in California. I've never been to a boat auction before. It's sure surprising how boats that were once loved and taken care of ends up selling for cheap all because people didn't take great care of them an let these boats turn out going bad with damage. Just like termites, they are very bad, they will eat all the wood and only leaving the fiberglass hull behind. Then water damage causes alot of hidden damage and you have to search until you track down how the water is getting into the boat. It would be awesome I'd think to have a boat yard where you can have a decent place to fix them. If i was a younger man I would love to do something like that. Fix them right and give them a new life and sell them to new families who will take care of them like the original owners did. It's good to help others and share the love with everyone.
