Anyone browsing here would be wise to check out our own classified section. I see yellowtaxi is selling his Pacific Seacraft Mariah 31 for what seems to be a very reasonable amount! (under $30K)

__________________________

Steady's Notes

1. It is often said to look for a used boat where the owner has put a lot of care into it or one that has been outfitted for cruising. This saves the new buyer a lot of effort, time, and money, when you consider all the little things that cruisers want to have on their boats.

2. This boat has a recently repowered Diesel engine.

3. The boat has an arch with numerous good things for cruising (RADAR, SOLAR, Inverter), etc.

4. I like the layout. I too would use the forward cabin for storage (as shown in the photos).

5. The owner is including everything associated with the boat, including tools, and books, dinghy with sail, JSD drogue, BBQ, Liferaft, etc. It is the most complete list of "cruising gear" and stuff I have seen in a sale listing. See the description below. I have highlighted a few of the things I would want to see or add to an older boat, and this boat already has them.

Solid glass hull ? I've always known the C & C from this time frame to be fully balsa cored.

Bayfield 29 Pocket Cruiser $18,900

http://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/65958

I am not a fan of the Bayfield, but this one seems to be in very nice shape and nicely equipped. If anyone is looking into this type of boat, this seems like a good one. Full set of sails, including spinnaker, nice canvas, looks to be in good shape all around.

That is a nice looking one. Thanks for adding to the mix of this thread.
I am going to post the link to it in the "Boats with Shallow Draft" thread.

That sale listing is a good one too. It is detailed and lists many things I think are good to know about a boat.

Now if we could find Herreshoff drawn and designed by Nat in that size and condition at that price I'd book a flight today!

They dropped the price on this boat. It is now being offered as a charity sale for $22,500. That sounds like a good price. I wish I was ready to buy. I'd give this boat a serious look.
