The add is back in the paper this morning 6/24, someone may want to call on this.

I saw this Add in our local Newspaper this morning. The picture showed a C250 on a lift. I thought a few forum members might be interested in the low price. I don't know this boat or who its owner is but the picture and phone number look to be local Port Charlotte or Punta Gorda Florida.

Paul or Russ, If this violates a rule, please delete it.

That boat has been for sale for some time. Looks like a very good deal but no trailer. I have always felt that the lack of a trailer on a 25 foot sailboat makes it a much harder sell. If a trailer costs about $6k then you are looking at a $16k package.

I think trailers are less of necessity here in Florida. We have multitudes of marinas that can haul and dry or wet store a boat. There are quite a number of small powerboats without trailers, as well, because they are stored at high and dry marinas.

When I had my C250 a trailer would have been an extra expense. Many people have dock space available or inexpensive marina space available especially here on the SW coast. Selling wasn't much of a problem either thanks to the Association Swap area, I sold mine to a person who sailed it to Virginia. I am sure I was lucky though.

I'm over in Daytona without a trailer. Bought my boat in Melbourne and sailed it home. Sometimes wish I had one but don't miss the extra expense of it AND a larger pickup to haul with.

I understand what you Florida sailors are saying and it works for you which is great. My view is that people will travel to buy a boat they find on the Internet - or at least they used to when people were buying boats! We traveled to Iowa to get ours and good friends traveled to Indiana for theirs. In those cases no trailer = no sale. If you are selling a boat without a trailer then you shrink the marketplace to the local area. I do understand that, if you don't tow to cruising areas, that the trailer is an expense to own, store, etc. Whatever works.

I travelled to buy my boat and paid to have it shipped to my lake.
