Hey Oscar, what do you think this vessel would be worth?

Ouch! What happened to her? Not much. The FG has gone in most of her. See the seams at the bow and the cabin top.

She's listed for 125.000 In perfect condition a 47 of this vintage sells in the high two hundreds. Big question is: What started the fire? If it was an oil lamp/cooking fire that's one thing. An electrical fire can get problematic if there's a lot of hidden wiring to replace, and worst case would be a ligtning strike. If the red hot glowing chain plate rods started the fire, there's no telling what the damage is where the energy left the boat down below.....

I wonder if the whole deck-cabin molding is going to have to come off the hull to re-line and rewire it. If you're thinking about that as an investment, I've got this... ummm... little Cape Cod in Connecticut--you could make a 20% down payment instead--no fire damage--at least not at the moment.

Not necessarily Dave. You could rewire and reline the deck on a boat that size for around 20 grand if you do it yourself. Depending on what you want the boat for it might be worth it. What other problems that we can't see in the pics are there?

There was an interesting letter to the editor in June 2003 edition of the California sailing magazine Latitude38 http://www.latitude38.com/letters/200306.htm about a Catalina 42 sinking in the Caribbean this spring. The person who wrote the letter is a C42 owner who researched the boat that sank. The boat was fire damaged and bought at salvage.

I'd pass on a burned boat.

Just received an answer to my question:

<blockquote id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">The fire was started by a lightening strike to the anchor plate.Ê The jolt started a wiringÊfire in the forward cabin.
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

That's a big can of worms....as I stated earlier. One never knows which pathways the energy took on the way out, and what damage, possibly hidden it did on the way......Oh well....

I'll bet that boat is at Turner Marine in Mobile AL.

Their place is right by a big bridge..like the one in the photos.

When I attended the Catalina rally in Pensacola, which was sponsored by Turner marine, a couple of 470's showed up.

The burned up boat is a 2001. The Rally was in 2000.

Here is hull #48. These babies are powerful and really fast.

Believe it or not we have one of these in our small inland lake here in Southern Colorado.

It doesn't seem to leave the dock much.

You think they'd notice if I swapped it out for my 250?

Maybe after the winter is over. If you have a semi big rig I know were the trailer is.
