Guest Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'd say any era. I owned the 2nd to last 1020 ever built by the respected mcdells late 80's. Built to survey with clear gelcoat under the water etc and fully inspected. Was stunned to hear shortly after I sold it, mid 90's it needed a bottom job. Would have been less than 10 years old.

Island Time 1,235 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 yep, pox is really common. sometimes serious, sometimes not. Ravens, for example are solid GRP. thick! pox not so important here as it is on a cored construction... Link to post Share on other sites

Ravens, for example are solid GRP. thick! pox not so important here as it is on a cored construction... I went to see a raven yesterday they do really seem solid boats with plenty of room & it was within my budget but it had just a bit too much work for me at this current time and especially starting out. If I had the extra $ I would definitely look to purchase one Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I would contact Shanson here on crew. He has a Cascade 36 for sale at a good price. Solid and easy to sail boat and plenty of room. Link to post Share on other sites

tonz76 0 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Anyone have any views on this listing? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-m ... 179824.htm Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 96 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 At face value it looks to be a good deal for what you were saying you want to do. I'm not familiar with the design but would be surprised if it has the same performance as some of the other boats mentioned above. And you'd still have to buy an outboard. But for that money it looks like it would get you out on the water... Link to post Share on other sites
tonz76 0 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Is there any thing I need to be aware of if it is glass over ply topsides and double diagonal hull glassed? I also was considering going to see this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =642813193 Link to post Share on other sites

But for that money it looks like it would get you out on the water... I have been looking online and contacted Bruce Roberts but they said they didn't recognise it as one of theirs. I spoke to someone who thinks it might be a wagstaff. Seemed a great boat to be fair but the previous owners said we would struggle to get insurance on it! He only got it by having multiple policies and they added the boat on Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Did he struggle to get insurance because its on a swing mooring? Link to post Share on other sites
tonz76 0 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Did he struggle to get insurance because its on a swing mooring? No seemed to be because he didn't know the exact details of the boat (make, model) Link to post Share on other sites
