I suppose I don't need to trailer it, I was just didn't want to dish out an exorbitant amount of money for (outdoor) storage fees during the winter. Indoor storage is not available.

Isn't that the truth! :lol:

I'm also learning pretty quickly that if we don't mind having one shipped to our area we can get a lot more boat for $4k than what we looked at in the original post.

Being in the car field for 30 years I know what is good and what to stay away from but this boat business is all new to me. I see plenty of what I would consider good deals near the Great Lakes but for all I know they are the Pintos and Vegas of sail boats. I had a friend tell me to check out the Ca...

Oh, the thought of knowing my keel was at the bottom of the lake! If anything, this experience has taught us that we need something a little bigger than 22'.

Thanks, everyone!... I think we'll keep looking. :D

Still dreaming!!

We're back. I realize it's a used boat but we weren't too impressed. I think I would have gutted it, cleaned it and started over inside. Came with 3 different jibs and the keel hardware hasn't ever been touched but he said it works fine. About a dozen or more screw holes in the ceiling from past ite...

For better or worse I'll kick in my two cents worth. Unless the boat just came out of a complete refit, including a bottom job, good keel brackets, and great sails $4000 is way too much money for that boat. Sail boats are still a dime a dozen these days. If you like the boat don't be afraid to cut ...

Thank you for all the responses. We should be taking a look at it tonight but when I took a look at the outside yesterday the first thing I noticed was like Bill said, it was oxidized. Any shine it may have ever had is a distant memory. I figured that was normal for an old boat. I don't even know wh...

First time buyer - 1981 C22

My wife and I are considering a Chrysler 22 that has been offered to us. We have little to no boating experience other than sailing Lake Michigan with a friend who hooked us on sailing. The boat comes with a trailer and is currently in a slip. The asking price is $4k which comes with the slip for th...
