I was looking to see how overpriced Harmony is and I came across this

Gotta be worth a punt. Just as long as nobody expects to take my Oceanquest off me for that money

it's only got one leg, it will fall over when the tide goes out.

no earthly good to me

Might sell, maybe even for a fraction more, around Scotland or Wales where there's plenty of inexpensive deep water, but you couldn't pay someone to take it in the Solent area; sad as I'm sure the boat has a lot of fun to offer.

Ebay won't allow furriners to open the link.

Strange. It allowed me, in Turkey. Maybe something to do with the Pope's visit.

Do you think he knows something about the engine that he is not telling us about?

the engine would be a liability - but at that price if a man knew what he was doing he could replace it with something much better -

the market will decide

I am starting at £10K and reducing the price by £100 a week from Jan 1 - dutch auction

it should be interesting

do you fancy predicting a price for Harmony?

Incredible really, just shows you how sick the economy still is.

Guess it will be sold sometime in the Autumn.

I think the price more reflects that the Centaur with Volvo MD2B/llC is a 6 to 7k problem not far round the corner.

I suspect the majority of boats in the Solent will have a deeper keel than this boat or do you know something we don't?

name the date then.... should be easy enough to calculate for an expert such as your good self

Na, the bigger problem is demand; i know of one Centaur in the last week thats sold that was re-engined with a Beta 5 years back that hasn't made the figures mentioned above, plus the fact if you go on Yachtworld.com right this minute you can see many a Longbows & Berwicks for between £8 - £12K and the odd dreamer asking £20k

Dylans boat, £4k......... tops, hope to be proved wrong and may well be as its not being sold on the south coast.

The Clyde's like everywhere else now - lob a brick in a boatyard and you'll hit a cheap Centaur.

I got mine for 5k. Nearly new spars and rigging with a very fresh set of sails. Old donk and it's been left for 3 or more years on the hard. Minor water damage around the companion way, dropped headlining and a few seized valves. Original asking price was over 11k, was dropped to 8.5 by the time I had a look.

I reckon around 4 to 6k for you Dylan so could take a year to sell... that's if you keep it clean and dry. If the boat goes green or damp it'll depreciate as fast as the £100 per week. Hope to be proved wrong! I want to see the value climb now I have one!
