Cash in hand, no financing required . Boat must be clean and dry and ready to go, or nearly so. Late models preferred.

look on sailboatlistings.com------ there are some there.

Thanks, I have. Some of those ads are years and years old and people don’t take them down. They get a kick out of hearing from me a lot later, though :-)

That site was full of stale listings the last time I was seeking a boat, over a year ago. It should be ignored.

Should be something that fits the bill.

OP here. Thanks for all of your replies. I am aware of everything actively on the market and have looked at several of them. I’m hoping someone who is on the fence about selling might see this and contact me.

Did you follow Bowdries link to the one in Oriental NC?

That one is a 2 cabin centerline (The best layout IMHO). The poster said 3 cabin Pullman only.

Opps, there are two. The 99' is a 3 cabin, I stand corrected. That one may have been a former charter in Oriental, if it's the one I'm thinking of.

OP again. Thanks for all the replies. Only interested in 3 cabin Pullman, and I'm aware of the boat in Oriental. Hoping for a lurker who will contact me directly.....

Just to close the loop, OP here, we bought the 3 cabin Pullman in NC and had it delivered to CT late summer. Very happy with the boat and the original owner who has been a great help in figuring things out. Even after new rigging and some other misc. work we believe we got a better deal on a better boat than anything we saw in southern New England/NYC area.


I never imagined I would buy a boat 700 miles away, that I never saw in person until it arrived at my mooring. I would have said "you are crazy" but it has worked out, so far

Congratulations on your boat purchase.

Did you ever find a cat in your price range?
I have a very old 42’ catamaran in Mexico, Rudy Choy. I will be in Mexico working on the boat Feb/ Mar 2024. I may consider selling.
