Goodbye old friend....... :(

[m0ssy]

Sold her the other week.

She sailed away into the distance at the weekend....

So am officially boatless presently.

But...

- and you'd put so much work into it.

Looks nice, what a pity - or are you saving up to get a bigger one?

The two happiest days of your life are the day you finally buy your boat, and then the day you finally manage to sell it!

Great name, and a tidy looking boat.

In all fairness a real nice couple who purchased her and they were genuinely excitied about the purchase. So she will continue to be improved and personalised so good luck to them.

Tried selling her on my own through the usual sites, got hacked off with timewasters so gave her to boatshed who sold it within a week or so.

I will never try selling a boat on my own again, now always through a broker, its just a matter of negotiating the right deal with the right broker

After all that work ! I bet you still have itchy arms...

Well look on the bright side, you can buy a propper boat now, with a stick and flappy things
Just think of the hours of fun you can have, playing with bits of string

It's weird. Try to sell a boat privately for, say, £10K and nobody's interested. But take it to a broker and people happily pay £12K.

My last boat sold in 3 days - but the broker wouldn't shift on terms. Fair enough, they're good at what they do and they did it. And they jetwashed it too, which was nice

Only the bottom I hope !

Nope, topsides (I was there so no issue with window seals etc)

And took the photos and got it online next day.

That is why there is a gap on Trowlock Island !

A friend is trying to sell a similar craft ( moored up on Ravens Ait ) I will tell him to give those people a try.

^.... just in case nobody knew my old mooring location!?

But back to your friends boat..... is it the steel hulled boat up for £55,000? if so, I believe it could be overpriced by £10k, but you never know, Boatshed could sell it.

Are you worried someone is going to turn up and pinch the grass !!

Yes that is the one , he is flying a kite at that price but Boatshed have obviously got a big market place I will push him their direction.

Rower, email me, and I will get over her personal contact detailson your email.

She was very pro-active and also matched the right person to the boat so no wasted time on crappy viewings of people not serious.
