Re: Need advice pricing a sailboat And thank you as well Brian. Once I see it I'll have more details and if I am unsure of it's value I'll be back on the thread. |

Re: Need advice pricing a sailboat Thanks Mike! So the seller is in the ballpark with his ask of $350 OBO. I'll check on the mast and I'll figger on $50 each for new servoes for a boat that size. Was the boat that you bought factory built or well crafted homebuilt? |

Re: Need advice pricing a sailboat Quote:
I bought one similar in size with Mylar sails & two winch servos that for $350 but hard to say without seeing it or knowing the servo numbers. Mine has an aluminum mast, Hitec winch servos and one Futaba rudder servo. A carbon fibre mast is more costly & different brand servos have different prices. |

Re: Need advice pricing a sailboat There is a class called Infinity-54 but it's 54" long not 60. They were or are made by GRP Model Yachts, and are gel coated fiberglass hulls not glass over wood. I saw a couple used ones that sold around $600. I couldn't find any other sanctioned classes that fit those dimensions. Can you get a mfg name or a pic.? |

Re: Need advice pricing a sailboat Good points! Missed a few things didn't I? The boat is 60" long, the sails are Mylar with main & jib and the boat stands 8-1/2 feet keel to tip of mast. No motor. He did mention drum / winch type servoes but couldn't tell me how many other than one for the mainsail and one for the rudder. That's about all I know so far. Maybe look at it this week. Are we up to $25???? :-0 |

Need advice pricing a sailboat There's a local sale here which includes a sailboat complete with sails, servoes, radio, batteries and a homemade stand. I haven't seen it yet but the description of the hull is that it is made of wood and overlaid with epoxy impregnated fiberglass. The model is a class racing design similar to an America's Cup with a square bow and raked stern - very pretty but no deck details although it looks like there may be a place where you could put them. I am lead to believe that this is a commercially built boat and would cost upwards of $1000 to buy outright but I can't find anything on the Net to confirm this. Can anyone suggest a fair price for a used one and maybe PM their phone number so I could call for a chat? Merry Christmas boaters, John |
