Reasonable Price for a 19'?

Post by PaulsPaddle »

What you guess is a current price of a 19'?

I've used Craigslist, Search tempest, Facebook, Kijiji, the many 'sell-your-boat' websites, etc.

A. Pretty hard to find
B. A wide range of prices due to years back they were sold.

I am handy, but not interested in a fixer upper. Well, always interested in a 'deal', but my intention would not be to buy something cheap and fix as my only avenue.

I would be comfortable spending about 10K USD (12.5 CAD) for a ready to go sailable boat. (factoring in some travel time and expense)

Reasonable?

I might be selling my Mac19 since I just recently acquired a 26m. Has a mariner 50hp 2 stroke. I'm in the Tampa, FL area let me know if you're interested.

I've seen them as low as $3000 with no motor needing a lot of TLC, and up to about $8000 with motor, everything in near-perfect condition. I have an ebay tracker for Mac sailboats, and about 1 comes up per year. They do sell fast at whatever price.

Great....figured there would be someone who keeps watch. :)

I'm a serious buyer so hopefully I can find something.
