Cheoy Lee 46 LRC $130k, Ft Lauderdale FL

[RT Firefly]

Aw snap. I have no idea how to post pictures AND I did read the directions.

 

[ScottC]

Do you actually think we would be foolish enough to believe that YOU do not know how to post pictures?!?!

Greetings,
Mr. SC. Nope. Text size too large. I need a pre-teen to do this for me.

Greetings,
Mr. AP. Yep. That's about the size of it. 4 year old is probably about 3' or so.

 

[RT Firefly]

????? AAAARRGGGHHH!!!!

 

[Tator]

I find it easier to service the valves with the engine in that position.

RTF - is this some sort of guerilla marketing campaign to develop anticipation for your boat? Or is the Elon Musk method where actual delivery lags promised by a lot? Or is your wife forcing you to list the boat and this is your way of quiet rebellion?

Seriously, good luck with your listing.....

Greetings,
Mr. MV. None of the above. My better 3/4 wants to cruise locally (canals, restaurants, near shore ocean fishing) and is in full agreement Savasa is, VERY unfortunately, NOT the boat to do it in.


She will be listed with a brokerage in short order but I wanted to offer her to TF members at a good price, first, minus the commission fees for $130K. Quite firm on that price as she's a LOT of boat that, in spite of her age, is in much better than average condition (IMO). She's in the yard, now, having the anti-foul updated and a suspect through-hull replaced.


In spite of the fact I have no problems copying and pasting any number of images from the web, getting them from my computer to this post is a mystery, thus far.

 

[KnotYet]

RTF, apologies if you've already stated it but where is this magnificent vessel located?

 

[RT Firefly]

Greetings,
Mr. K. Fort Lauderdale, FL. I keep getting "The text that you have entered is too long (311864 characters). Please shorten it to 40000 characters long"


I've tried making the pictures smaller but they end up as posted. Too small and sideways.

 

[mvweebles]

Unfortunately, I cannot send pictures via PM, but here is how I add pictures to TF posts from my PC. Android/Phone is a bit easier to attach, but more difficult to manage the description.

 

[Moonfish]

Mr. RT -

I do hope you get this figured out in short order as I wait breathlessly to see pics of your beautiful vessel!

FOR SALE: Cheoy Lee 46 LRC $130k, Ft Lauderdale FL

Our beloved primate-loving "RTF" seems to have troubles posting pics of his Cheoy Lee 46 LRC trawler. I volunteered to add some pics and assist with the posting.

• OWNER: RTF. He is on this thread. Feel free to PM him for more details
• LOCATION: Fort Lauderdale FL
• ASKING PRICE: $130k (pre-market)
• SISTERSHIP LISTING ON YACHTWORLD: https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1979-cheoy-lee-46-8203154/ (this was my idea to add since I was curious about the general layout and owner pictures are limited. It's in Spain so clearly not RTFs boat)

Clearly a knowledgeable owner. Given RTF has struggled to list his for sale ad on TF, I have a hunch he's probably ready to list with a broker. If you have any interest, I wouldn't dawdle.

Best success. Wish I were in the market.....

Peter

This is THE space that sold me on this particular Cheoy Lee model. It is aprox. 15' wide by 7' deep by 6' (or so) high. I've had 4 people in there and there's STILL room. A REAL joy to visit and work in.

-Anti-freeze replaced

[RT Firefly]

Greetings,
Thanks for wading through all that. I'm sure I've forgotten some things...

 

[Blissboat]

Thanks, RT - helpful.

 

[socalrider]

Sounds like a very good deal in today's market. I'd have a look myself if she were on this coast. Good luck with the sale!

 

[BruceK]

Best wishes for a good sale.The ER photographs well. Monkey crew included?

How to Post Pictures

1) In a new post, 'click' the paperclip icon for "Attachments". (The Manage Attachments window will open)

2) In the "Upload File From Your Computer" section of the "Manage Attachments" window 'click' "Choose File". (An Open File from Windows File Explorer will open if you're on a Windows OS)

3) Browse to the image file you would like to upload.

4) Select the file name and 'click' "Open".

5) In the "Upload File From Your Computer" section of the "Manage Attachments" window 'click' "Upload"

6) Scroll to the bottom of the "Manage Attachments" window 'click' Close

NOTE: You cannot upload an image alone, you must post text along with the image.

7) 'Click' the "Submit Thread" or "Submit Reply" depending on whether you posting a new thread or to an existing thread.

NOTE: It helps to have you're images specifically oriented UP in the OS prior to uploading. Windows image tools tend to have a knack of auto-rotating the file for view, however this is not representative of how the image is actually stored in the file. If you used a phone and held it like an old Kodak instamatic (landscape orientation) then you pictures are going to upload sideways.

Of course, as with all TF posts minus pictures, we just have to take your word for it. Not much detail about the salon. It does have a salon, no? Nicely upholstered salon? Light & airy salon?

 

[indy]

She is truly a beauty, RT. At that price, she'll sell quickly! Fair winds.

 

[RT Firefly]

Greetings,
Mr. i. Thanks. She's going to brokerage tomorrow or Wednesday and will be listed for $145K. The $130K was a one time TF special offer. STILL worth the $145 IMHO. Make an offer. So sorry about the pictures but the rest of the boat is as good as or better than the few that were posted.

 

[boharkness]

What year did you buy her?
