I concur with Panope. Once upon a time TNT hydraulic swim platform lift/chocks were the rage down here. Everybody had to have one, and they are pretty cool until (keyword) caught in heavy seas that tore them (just the tender if lucky)off the boat sinking several of the boats that had them.That...

Thats great to hear. MANS needs to have their reputation boosted in the cruising world. Too much misinformation spread about on these motors. In the Sportfish and larger motoryacht world these engines are 'the aces'. German, diesel, and a company started by Rudoph Diesel-what could be better?

I'm going to give you a name, no reason to reinvent the wheel: Edward Agabs. He had such a site that us brokers and buyer's loved for a fraction of the cost of Yachtworld. But back in 2011 the owners of Yachtworld made him an offer he couldn't refuse, then they promptly crashed the site and then...

THD is correct, but my point is that nothing will meet your eye, everything is out of sight but If they can grab your boat it changes the dynamics which is why people will take them first, whether right or wrong. I too, suspect the State has pinged your yard for the Sales Tax as they are...

And speaking of snatching up in the middle of the night. The guys that do it are really good at their jobs. A friend of mine who was a major yacht dealer was losing his line of boats to the bank back in 09. He had one new 54' they hadn't yet taken, and he was going to make it as difficult as...

I just Googled Lazy Days and quickly saw the photo I gave the guy. I also learned they went out of business in 1987. The race was in 1967 and the owner posted photos on a racing boat forum. So perhaps not as many Lazy Days exist as I remember up there. Time is flying! Guess I'm not 32 anymore...

You might want to pay attention to their engine locations and fuel tanks. I would instead put my attention toward an all aluminum Lazy Days that were built in Buford Georgia. There's many sitting on Lake Lanier. They even built an ocean going version with a high bow. One actually finished the...

No, and it's a rather quick simple process to do if the vessel is federally documented. No court required for them, but you will have to spend money (and maybe end up in Court) to try to get the lien released. At least you have possession of the vessel. It will effect you trying to sell it...

It become obvious what to do when you get there. There's a boardwalk that runs along the harbor waterfront with an unlimited amount of charter fishing boats and headboats lined up. There's plenty of restaurants there too. All good. Not exactly Cuban restaurant neck of the woods. Your almost...

She's a beautiful boat but I don't understand the relevance as any sorta comp as we were talking leftover late model single engine boats. Your really aren't trying to compare a 2010 basically new boat with a single engine to a 1993 model with twin Iveceo engines and 3300 hours are you? There's...

That's great, when is this going to happen? I feel for boat building employees, it must be difficult to raise a family in such a tenuous transient occupation. Have to live in a 5th Wheel I recon. They certainly get whipsawed about.

They went out of business during the great recession in 08. David Marlow purchased Hunter Sailboats and the Mainship name from the crashed Luhrs empire, and has built a couple of small Mainship Pilots which I think are built at the Hunter yard in Alachua Fl. Marlow also purchased the old...

related, but different In the vein of very rare late model single engined yachts 55' long there's a 2011 Navigator 55' with a single diesel for sale in Seattle that just lowered it's price to $550k. I expect it will sell soon, but due to its location likely will not be going to Australia like...

:whistling:It's tea alright, but the kind of tea served at Ma Browns in Negril!

Is the same boat that was in the classified here, and that Car Dude went to see?

Yet the Mo _ _ _ _ _ _ s try don't they?!!!! I've had many a fight with boatyards over this issue. Why the hell you trying to charge for overhangs that you're not painting? Particularly bothered me was when I took in my 15' tender to paint and they would charge me for 15' but the boat is...

If you say so, but all the boats and classic cars exported oversea's the past ten years prove that others are faster on the draw. All us brokers WISH there were more boats out there to sell. ALL the new leftovers are gone or have rotted away. Factor in steel boats with single engines. fugetaboutit.

You do realize I was a Yacht Broker in Miami for 30 years (til 6/14) don't you? Isn't that scenario normal? You know what happened to Don Aronow don't you? Back in the 80's it was especially quite interesting. You must read Tim Dorsey novels to appreciate Florida. It's a trip. Anything goes...

Tell that to Judge Judy. :rofl:, but in fact this boat was in Florida, owned by a offshore corporation so the laws elsewhere are moot. One of my big business life lessons was taught me by Su Ling Li (I was his partner, and Miao was his )of Lien Hwa-and their attorney's. You can have all the...

Facts aren't "attitude". You tell me who's building boats today in that size range willing to lose money on every build. This boat was owned by a Russian builder who finished her in 2010. Most American builders "gave it up" back in 2008-2009", although Navigator hung on until 2013, but Marshall...

I don't know about "better" but it will certainly be different. Your never going to see a 2010 55' steel single engine yacht built to such a high quality fit and finish for this price again. This was a unique geopolitical (Russian owner of company) opportunity who's time has passed, the same as...

Like Indian Tribes, Yacht Manufacturers, Dealers and Brokerage houses, I can tell you where they used to be, but now-the only used (they also have new old stock they bought from builders who went of business) equipment house I'm aware of still open in Florida is Marine Liquidators on US I...

Lol, one certainly is, but Whiticars is a top notch yard, although along the fence next to the train tracks there's some Riverland candidates including a rigless Formosa. Every time I drive by I wonder how long that old wood black sailboat taking the brunt of the sun and train vibrations can...

Advice? If you own a Formosa then that makes you an expert on these boats too. Isn't there a Marine Trader for sale here on this site for $20k? My concerns on northen freshwater boats is rot, and delamination from freezing water if stored outdoors in the winter. Down south you get just the rot...

Anybody else watching the Barrett-Jackson auction? Insane, the prices people are paying! You can buy some damn fine yachts for three million dollars!! Somebody paid $240k for a Beverly Hillbillies movie truck. Not the tv show, but the movie, of which there's several others, so it wasn't even...
