How Not To Sell Your Wooden Classic 

How Not To Sell Your Wooden Classic 

In the opening line the seller says “whole boat made from kauri, no rot!”, well I think rot would be the least of your worries. The major features promoted are the brass bits – “steering wheel, anchor winch, prop – the value of these bits probably dictates a fair starting price for bids….

Vender says -“Opportunity not to be missed” , I suspect it will be a miss.

It is not a bad looking craft, but presented like it is, and with a an engine that doesn’t run – it should be – Free To A Good Home. Way too many negative photos that showcase how neglected she is, then again maybe the woody folks down south like a major project 🙂

  1. I saw the ad on TM a while ago – I’m picking the vendor bought the boat and thought he/she could make a quick buck selling it on. The ad revealed a sad level of ignorance – brass instead of bronze etc and even the boat name in the ad was not the same name that’s on the stern….is my recollection
