Brand new custom offshore fabric mainsail (never mounted) with partial full battens. 4 genoas, roller furling, spinnaker never used. All new 316SS rigging with backstay adjuster. Cat direct halyards with BB sheave on mainsail halyard. New trailer tires and bearings, ready to be pulled to your own slip (barrier coat, Cu bottom painted blue, and a PIA to launch for a daysail. 2005 Suzuki 9.9. Freshwater only. Check my history. I'm not getting much response on the coast here because she's an outboard model. While mooring in the two lakes I had her in, much was done to create a boat where sailing error, not equipment/maintenance error, would ever be a problem. Also chose to build her up for coastal sailing by choosing SS over chromed brass in many fittings. Selling to afford continuing to do the same to my 46 year old wood trawler live-aboard.

Molly Brown: 1967 Grand Banks 32-#34. Bronze, mahogany, teak, oak, with 120hp diesel to push all 10 tons. Currently an abuser of the bilge pump. Also... The Tall Rig Spirit: 1978, #973, Cast Fe Fin Keel on a Trailer

Sounds like a nicely equipped boat and really nice as you have a trailer that can accommodate a full keel, as opposed to a swing keel. Might be a good idea to include a price for the combo. Nothing motivates like deal, and you can spur interest by listing your asking price. Being a freshwater boat mostly is a plus, but being one of the earlier boats may be seen as a minus. Iron keel sometimes exhibits rust if the coating is dinged, but its inconsequential to the life of the boat. Photos of the interior and exterior would be nice. Full description of the condition of the trailer (tires, springs, axles, coupling, lights, rollers) matters.
Good luck!

Thanks, I knew this was the place for motivation to produce a good asking price. say... $6k? Tires and bearings were done last year, and I towed it from North Idaho to So Cal, and she's been parked in an avocado orchard. The market is poor for non-trailerable sailboats (if you get a flexible furler and a A-frame lift, it may cut hours off the painful procedure of launching). For what I've done to her and the free storage I'd have no problem letting her go for $6k.
