I help at our local maritime museum - picking up donated boats. This one looks 
like quite a few that we get. My guess is the owner is older and cannot keep up 
with the boat - particularly if there are few times he/she can use it. A friend 
picked up a Morgan 35 at our sale last year - $7000. It needed a new head, a 
good cleaning, and will need some new sails pretty soon. But, it was in very 
clean shape - no leaks - a nice diesel - furler, etc. No current electronics, 
but for 7K? He is enjoying the hell out of it.

This one looks pretty clean - but the market for old boats, regardless of how 
nice they are (Atomic 4 is a problem in marketability) is not strong at all. 

Another friend picked up a 26 footer - lousy interior - one cylinder Yanmar 
(but he couldn't run it before the purchase - as is/ where is) - for $100! 
Pulled the interior out, took it home, used it as patterns for a new one (he is 
a pretty good woodworker), reinstalled, cleaned up all the exterior teak, waxed 
it, painted the bottom, bought a new main, paid the yard mechanic two hours to 
get the engine running and has a pretty nice boat!!! He has a couple months of 
spare time and maybe two grand in it.

If I were on the other side of the Bay and wanted another project.....

  Note that the seller is a charity organization.  This was a donated boat so I 
suspect it isn't in the best of shape, or the owner just needed to get out from 
under it.

    Times are tough – this is mostly going to be selling to a cash buyer. 
Getting a loan for a 40 year old boat is not an easy task now.

    No older boat is really a liquid commodity anymore L

    Now that seems like a super good deal…maybe I am little C&C biased but I 
think a 35 should be worth considerably more even at 40 years old…did I miss 
something about it being damaged??

    The 35 is a solid hull. I think you can bang on the deck and see how that 
is.

    Pat,



    I could look at it Sunday, but i don't have a moisture meter.  I'd hate to 
miss something major.

        looks clean David. would like to get that back to join the fleet and 
get a buyer. no mention of sails, cradle, etc but probably a good deal. do we 
have any contacts out in the lower Chesapeake to take a look at her? Is anyone 
a member of ebay so they could pose questions to owner? such as when was the 
last survey, out of the water shots, has keel been manipulated to remove her 
from racing one design, major repairs over time, etc. Ted

        This boat is back on Ebay, this time at no reserve. Asking $9500 right 
now...



        Appears to be a nice one.
