Looking at this one. Just gotta figure out a way to get it home.

26 feet of beautiful history there Neil, go for it buddy! (That WILL take a heck of a trailer to haul her home, though.)

Her first ad was for $800. I was in Portland and went to see the boat. She was unable to go out to the slip, so I had free run. She said help yourself and take your time. It all looked pretty normal for a boat that has been floating in a covered slip. Lots of bird poop and dust. Over all on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say 6 or 7. I am thinking it should come in around 6800 to 7200 pounds. Am I close?
The slip fee is $120 a month. I may have to pay that for a couple of months until I can get it to Idaho. Still on the fence about this boat.
I don't think I will find another at this price.

You won't find another one at that price and it will be worth the cost of shipping. They had one on eBay awhile back on a trailer for 15k. Don't know if it sold but restored it has to be worth close to that. I'd just call a couple of boat transporters and get a ballpark figure and go from there. I love my 20ft 58 and it gets alot of attention and I haven't seen any like it since I bought mine. Good luck...

Oh dude for that price Id be all over that for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I give you guys my wife's cell number, would you put in a good word????????

Sold this morning but not to me.

Yeah, didn't figure it would last long for that price. I had a line on a '51 47' double cabin flybridge Chris Craft. Needed motors and a lot of TLC but the bottom was solid and redone 2 years ago. Floating in a covered dock. Unfortunately the wife had the nerve to say she didn't like it!!!!!!!!!!! Guy just wanted it out of there so it was a make an offer sale. Oh well,still need to redo the Century anyway.
