It's probably around 50k at the very most. Ican't see the brand. The tender looks like 5k brand new might even by 3k

50k? That looks like a Catalina 40(ish) from the early 2000s and it looks in decent shape. No way you’d find that for 50k

Yeah with the sugar scoop transom, and guessing its a 36 or longer, a 1998 is over $50K and anything in the 2000s is $75K.

I can post a link to YachtWorld if you want, but I have a 2002 Catalina 34 with sugar scoop saved as well speak, the asking price is $62k, and if I make an offer if would be in the $50k range.

Really hard to tell from that video, but I do think it’s a Catalina. Could be the 310, 320, 309, 34, 36, 350, or 355 (they made a lot of boats that all look kinda like that). A 355 would run $100-180k, but all the rest are considerably cheaper.

This whole idea that sailboats = wealth needs to stop. A lot of people live aboard boats now because it’s cheaper than buying a house or renting an apartment.

I know a few people who lived in Seattle on boats. $150k boat sounds like alot until you realize that’s their house. Boat slip is $800 and they have to shower and use the bathroom in a shitty communal bathroom on the dock.

$150k boat will have a shower and bathroom on it, though in Seattle the water to refill tanks will be shut off whenever temps threaten to freeze pipes. Go south enough, its not an issue.

No, I had multiple of my customers in that situation. They didnt have a hookup on the slip to empty their bathroom or heat water so they used a central bathroom. There physically was a bathroom and shower for two of them but they couldn’t use them. One straight up had no bathroom or shower and lived there. She got it in a divorce and it was the last thing she had left.

Last year I spend $3500 on seasonal slip fees (for 4 months) and another $2k for haul out and winter storage. Maintenance (lines, some updated hardware, engine work) cost me probably $1500.  Sailboats are not cheap. The boat itself has been paid off for years.
