Selling Your Boat and Boat Gear?   Boat Gear For Sale>>>

We’ve had years of pleasure (mostly) successfully selling many wooden and other boats.

We pride ourselves on our ability to find good homes for your boat, at sensible prices. We also try to find good homes for boat related gear, such as trailers, dynastart units, outboard motors, fittings and equipment, construction materials, tools etc. 

To find out how we can help you, please phone or email us.

If your boat sells for over 40,000 as a result of our direction, then there would be a 7.5% commission. More time goes into this stuff than you might imagine.

 

If it sells for less than that, as a result of our direction, it would be a 10% commission. Thats because it takes the same time to convince people for less return!!

You also supply an inventory list and condition statement, as well as anecdotes around the life of the boat. Pictures with people, especially families in them are good.
We will never 'hype' the boat in order to get a sale.

If we think its crappy, or wildly over priced we will say so, but we will also suggest ways that it may be rectified, if we believe it can be.

Really well built demountable, trailerable ocean capable Kelsall KC 27.

NIS - 9.5 - Santa Maria - Gift - $25,000   31'3": x 9'9" x 1'6" Draft

Currently in northern NSW,  still in build.  The owner has been doing a careful job of her, using the best materials.  We know, we supplied them!

However as sometimes happens. life itself outruns the original reason to build.  The owner had intended to build  her with electric drive, and to cruise with his enthusiastic younger family.

They kinda grew up, along the way, and priorities have changed.

The boat and her stories would have been sensational. She also might have been the first NIS 9.5 in the world with our unstayed carbon masts booms and tabernacles. 

To have been called, Santa Maria, she now awaits somone else to pick her up, and carry her to where she might be finished, and make the dream real.

There is a lot of materials and equipment with her.

Enough Bote Cote epoxy resins, glass fabrics, Okoume plywood etc etc to finish her.

She is still upside down on her building frame.  

She is pretty much ready for lifting off the build frame, tuning and fitting out of the interior.

The owner may be able be able to lift her onto a big traytop truck or semi trailer.

Nearly 90 litre of premium Bote Cote, applicator tools and some EGlue too I think.  Nearly Au$3K
 
  More glass Huge stack of Okoume plywood.  At a guess about $7K Everything in safe storage.
 
  Nicely faired and glassed very strong but light hull. Hull transom view Glassed centreboasr
  Alloy tabernacles  still in wrapping.  Bear in mind the deal includes carbon masts valued today at about 16K, still in wrapping.  Ok but not worth much now with the preferred new carbon tabernacles
         
    Sister ship, Geraldton WA  This is what you can do, too!  and most of the heavy lifting is done. Live abourd cruiser, if you wish.
