bristol 35.5

Anyone interested in the Bristol 35.5 for sale in New Hampshire should have a complete survey done to determine the extent of the damage and flooding. Owner says he does not know of any damage. Buyers beware.

Re: bristol 35.5

I'm guessing it's this one:

1985 Bristol 35.5 sailboat for sale in New Hampshire

Sounds like Pelicanita may have some relevant unpublished information. Can you tell us any more about what happened to the boat?

Re: bristol 35.5

Correct. I do not know the how, where or when. But you would think the owner would know, but he is not talking.

@Pelicanita

But I think you first wrote "Beware of a Bristol 35.5 for sale that is located in New Hampshire with structural damage. Owner says he does not know about any damage."

Whats wrong with this boat? might be helpful for others.

Re: bristol 35.5

I talked with someone that looked at this boat to purchase. If it is the same one..... it had a major repair on one side and a major bulkhead was never tabbed (Glassed) back to the hull. The owner claimed ingnorance on every issue and the potential buyer walked away.... fast.
