  1. I went for a sail one day and while going along there was these little black half moon shaped things all over the cockpit and it was swallows had been living In The boom and shitted in there so it was being sprayed as the boom was moving ,there was a crust type nest in the boom wich we removed

  2. He's old my brother in law a lotus 9.2 wich he sailed to Wellington , he no lie , he strait up but did what was his job fine , I sailed it up to mana good boat priced right ,

  3. It all comes down to the vendor if he's realistic then the broker can move it , some vendors think there boat is the best in there eyes and is worth top value , but sadly there is a word not said in the broker business ,,, vendor crunching, ,,, and that takes months till he realises his boats value is not what people will pay , the broker has a tough job , they usually try and list good stock so they know it will move , no easy remember they are trying to sell your boat , if it's not up to scratch and priced right his position is hard and the answer is make an offer I will see what he can do vendor crunching ,

  4. Brokers have 7.5 percent plus gst Fee minimum , some have $50k rentals to pay and some admin at the desk , sellers list with them for exposure , and ask what they want , ,so many sit on the market going no where ,some brokers have boats on there books for years ,over priced , but brokers have a hard life It's not easy in that industry , you have the dreamers. ,he wants SHE doesn't , the timewaisting types feeding their one day boat , wanting to see every thing on the water , the. There is the traders with a piece of crap trading up , trying to convince the seller to take it , it goes on , so you can see broker don't have an easy job They have to tell immediately that you the buyer is for real , with cash in bank and the want to have a boat now , ,,it's not easy , he to has a mortgage. Power , rates, phone , and fuel bills carting dreamers around , ,then you have a vendor with 80s selling price in 2017 not going to move , give it some thought ,

  5. Well I did the windows on my mates boat used all the materials said , looks good , but the caulking product I don't know , the Dow 795 , you can't paint it , it's soft , and once the window is in , days later you can move it in the opening , where's MS is harder , sticks well to the window and is paint able And the Dow we had a leek in one corner that baffled us as the was no sign of anything , the glass was treated first many times with there product , rubbed the stuff in many times around the perimeter , the rebates sealed , I thought it would be better ,

  6. Hi you know these boats are old now and quite cheepish , and plastic , so you will have to do your homework on the hulls , mechanics, etc , you talking max carter 33 or the euro carter 33 , if so check it out

  7. But it all comes down to the cost of running it , the marina puts many off buying , the haul out fees , the paint content , all goes against the investment , and taints the excitement, so the boats are slow to sell and very negotiable, the weather is crap , , campervans in this country are on an up , easy to store at no cost ,, at home ,, cheep to run , and the wife's are more interested than boats in cases , lots of boaties turn to that way of life away from the other , the 80s class boats are struggling to hold price over age , condition , new motors , rigs , paint jobs all against them now , a 9.2 25 k up , a 10.6 45 k up , a 1020 struggling at 60 k maby , 1220 over priced against the benes , and alike wich are lovely boats , and real value for dollar , when I moved to gh 20 years ago my boat was worth 65 k. The Marina was $150 a month , now my boat is worth 30 k and in better condition , and the Marina avarage is $650 a month , that's why prices are low , why would you ,

  8. I managed to come across a gaudi type raw water strainer , the one with the glass top and the lift out filter , was wondering at what hight does it fit , should the glass top be a water level or what .
