In Response To: Strip: How much to pay for Unfinished Boat (Bob Beaullieu)

Hey Bob, I checked out the ad and it does look like a beautiful boat. Unusual to see strippers in our neck of the woods. With the extra 1200 ft. of strips and quality foot pegs included, I can see why the fellow would like to get back a grand. Shame he won't get to paddle it after that much effort. Of course photos can be misleading.

Guess it all depends on how much you want a Cape Ann. You've had the "I did it myself" experience at least twice so you're partly over that. You probably won't really know how much to offer til you visit the gentleman and see it in person.
Good luck.

Ian

: Need some perspective on how much to pay for an unfinished boat...

: I ran across an advertisement in Craigs List for a One Ocean Kayak
: "Cape Ann" that the owner can't finish. The hull and
: deck have been stripped and glassed but hatches and cockpit need
: to be cut out and completed, deck joined to hull and full
: sanding / varnishing. The advertiser wants $1000.

: What's a fair price to take on this project assuming the
: workmanship is satisfactory?

: Thanks for any advice you may have since the market for unfinished
: boats is rather slim... No "NADA Guide" for this
: baby...
