Info, Please, on a '78 Fantasia35 CC

[beachgirl1952]

I know, that someone on this board is sailing one ...
nice boats, I agree, but this owner "spoiled" her (in MY view and my surveyor too), with a hard, high dodger / doghouse ...
a very comfortable one, I bet ...

questions: the mast is too low for the boat, which would make it a motorsailer ...
and if so, the engine is too small (30HP) ...
a new 2 y/o engine rusting already?? ...
comes with a dinghy wit 25HP OB ... 25 yes, almost as big as the main engine ...

the boat has been here in a slip for 3 months, but that's what the broker wants us to believe ...
the owners went back to the US, leaving s/v "Galadriel" here ...
those 3 months must be at least 6, if not more ...

I can see though mess, that has to go overboard ...
I can see my stuff ON board, no prolem ...

it's a longkeeler (my preference)

but now, what to offer? ...
will tell you this week, what I plan on offering ...

a good friend (who is an official surveyor for both the USA and Europe, insurances etc ...) left me a note with the qustions I have to ask the broker ...
that email will be sent shortly ...

and one of these days I will go to the marina and take some update pics ...
more than the broker took ...

keep this thread in mind please ...
brb ...

greetz,

unless of course ...

I was eyeing a Fantasia 35 in SD, that was back from cruising. It looked to be in decent shape but would need refitting, with running rigging, maybe standing rigging, a paint job, and some new electronics. They started asking $44k and lowered after a few months to $38k, and the ad has disappeared. I was about to go have a look and was thinking of offering, in this market, 30k. Sounds like yours is in worse shape. The thing I was unsure about is head and shoulder room. Let us know how it unfolds. Jon
