Want To Buy: Wanted Uncomplicated tiller steered 35 to 45ft

[picklesandjesse]

Looking for a fast, seaworthy, uncomplicated vessel. Easy access engine ( in accommodation is good ) prefer tiller steered. Not ugly and none of that stuff hanging on the stern, except self steering gear. Have limited budget of US 50k due old age, responsibilities etc. Not fussy on the boat's location as I'll sail it back to Australia. Let's see what's out there ?? I always look after my boats so it will be well loved and taken care of. If you have a boat that wants an adventure then you can now set it free!! Thanks

Should have checked sooner. Uncomplicated. That looks better. And if the boat has no head or refrig, electronics, seacocks etc that's OK too, less to fix.

Maybe your right. Just have a problem with fuel and smelling exhaust going downwind..My wife wants a powerboat, should I listen to her? She sure doesn't listen to me. But thanks for the suggestion.

How about a 'free' Bristol 33?
Tiller, Atomic 4 engine in cabin above keel.
Probably cost 10K to put back into the water.
Located in CapeCod, MA.

Thanks for the offer. I don't have much time. Need a boat that I can get ready in maybe 3 weeks and leave. Bit like doing a delivery which I'm accustomed to.

I have a friend selling a boat that fits your bill perfectly. It's a super simple constructed steel sailboat with great bones and lineage, fully refit and ready to go with new carol hasse sails and rigging (standing and running, and new boom too), full compliment of sails and storm sails, comes fully equipped with tools and everything. I wanted to buy it myself but don't have the cash.

This boat has already done the Pacific loop twice and is currently in Tacoma, WA, USA.

Send me a dm and I'll connect you with the guy.

Thanks. Is a DM a private message?? John.

[picklesandjesse]

Just found out... it's a direct message. Nothing wrong with me!!!

This boat has wheel steering but people remove them and set up the emergency tiller as the primary. https://vindo45forsale.wordpress.com/

Thanks for the reply. I surprisingly found a suitable boat here in Australia. Regards. John.
