Dear Salts,
Notwithstanding my comments about being put off buying a boat by all the negative stories I hear on here (first and second-hand) I saw this advert today and was struck by the fact that it has a new engine, and various other bits.
Bavaria - 34 for sale in Hampshire, South East, United Kingdom | Boatshop24
Given I'd really be looking and only going around the S coast, at this sort of money, even if it were to sink (preferably in the marina) , it wouldn't bankrupt me.
What looks like will need replacing is standing and running rigging, so, what? c £4k???? (Guess)
Is the survery going to reveal something shocking at this sort of price?
I'm not rushing in with a handful of 50 pound notes; whatever happens, I'd leave it till Christmas in the hope/belief that more boats will appear and that the market won't go up.
Please feel free to put in any thoughts, within the allowance of moderation policy, even like "Why on earth would you look at a 20 year old Bavaria?" Comments like that normally peeve me, but won't this time, I promise, as I was told in Croatia that old Bavaris seem to leak around the hatch seals.
Hvala Vama!
