I had posted a trade for a catamaran, but after rethinking our needs vs wants, am reposting with corrected title. We used to sail/own monohulls and converted...however, as Sailingdog pointed out, that is a pretty limited pool. So we could definitely "go back" so we could go sailing. We liked the extra room, so would like to have a larger monohull. Land value is now down to about $2000/acre or $320K for the full 160 acres....so that would be the top of the budget.
I know everyone selling a boat wants cash..so would I ...in the past. But in today's world, cash is about to become less valuable....hyperinflation is going to descend on the USA. And with the economy etc. in the condition it's in, maybe someone would trade a boat that requires care and feeding ($$$ every month) for real estate just outside Denver, CO that produces income and will at least start appreciating again before too long...I doubt that a used catamaran is going to appreciate nearly as much.
We want to retire and go cruising so we don't care that our boat (see how optimistic I am ) will lose value since we will be using it. We are "land rich and cash poor" but want to do it NOW rather than wait. But, we have to find the right seller who has the ability and willingness to take real estate rather than cash. Any takers??? No commission to pay for either party, potentially less taxes. Catamaran ready to go is our ideal boat. If any interest post here or reply to [email protected]. We are serious and have lots of paid for land....which never disappears...
