MarkMT 68 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 So I arrived back in NZ this morning after 7 months away, and I plan to be here for the next 5. Looks like that will probably the general pattern for the foreseeable future so I'm hoping to buy another boat while I'm here. I've been monitoring trademe pretty closely and have a few potential targets to look at. Ross 930's interest me and I'm aware of one, Shockproof, that was on the market earlier in the year, but as far I know was taken off the market without selling. Does anyone here happen to know the owner of that boat (don't remember how I figured this out, but I think it may be at Gulf Harbour) and could put me in touch? If there's a chance they might still be interested in selling, I'd be interested in adding it to my list of boats to take a look at. Please feel free to PM me. Thanks.

Winter 42 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 There is one next to me for sale. Look pretty spiffy Squid Vicious - on tardme at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMT 68 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Thanks Winter. I did have a look at Squid back in February when I was first starting to think about buying and will probably do so again. I believe Shockproof has an updated keel, which Squid doesn't, and from the photos in the original listing appears to have a particularly tidy interior. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waa1066 5 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Yes, Shockproof has the Murray Ross keel. I owned her at the time it was added and subsequent owners have added prods etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gisywaterboy 3 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Its at Gulf Harbour, K1 I think. Owner didn't sell, he may still be keen. Marina could pass your details on to him if you give them a call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philstar 61 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 both shock proof and squid are both great boats. shock proof has alot of new gear on her and a really good ross t keel. over the last few years she has undergone a pretty good tidy up by Fred the current owner. Dunno what the sails are like though and she needs a prod code zero etc. I can't remember if she has mast head gear. Fred wanted 50k for her when I looked at her last summer. Squid has the standard keel but has had some serious money spent on deck gear etc. she also has some really good sails, prod, mast head gear . I'm not sure what anatoli would want in terms of money but for 40k or less she would be a great buy and then you could spend a bit doing the keel. Both shockproof and squid have full interiors Entertainer has been for sale for a while too and has excellent sails, new keel and rig, but is rough inside. I guess it depends if you want her for hard racing or cruising and if the sails are more important than the keel etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 71 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 ... spend a bit doing the keel. a bit?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 61 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 yeah 10k should do it. It depends how much you get done, and how much you do yourself. Squid is worth it. she is a very tidy boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ptown 14 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 About 15,000 $1 bits I'm told. And the rest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kick Ass 47 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 If you take the lifting system out of the equation Meisters keel only cost about 3k max, did alot of the work myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
