Hi everybody.
So tomorrow I'm going to look at a 27ft Columbia. I don't know the year yet but the story is this guy started to work on this thing as a project but gave up because he didn't have the time. Apparently the sails ropes and winches are in good shape... here, just read the post:
"It's a Columbia 8.3 model number 279, built in 1979. Length: 27"2'. Water line length 21.3"
beam is 9"4'. Draft is 4"4'. Max headroom is 6"1'. Vertical clearance is 38"6'. It is a fixed keel
Right now she's tied up in [removed to protect sale], but this project boat will provide a great deal of satisfaction for the right person. It's a 27 foot Columbia with no engine. Sails, ropes, wenches in great shape but inside is gutted. Husband started project, but it became too much to handle and work a full time job."
And the guy is asking for $1000 for it. I was hoping I could get your input people since this is my first boat. I'd like to spend about this much on a boat and I intend to live aboard by myself.
Thanks very much everyone, as I'm sure you get way too many posts like this already. Once I get sailing I'll return the favor...
