Number 1 - $30k is a really great price, so their must be real work involved. When I was looking around, except for the one in the woods over on Martha or Nantucket, most of them were in the $45k and up asking range.

‘Number 2 - “more pics and survey for serious buyers only”. How frickin hard is it to put more pics and info in the ad to attract serious buyers? Survey I can understand, but why even say you have one, until a serious buyer comes along? I’m sorry but sometimes people are real assholes and just plain fricking dumb and clueless.

The Fortier 26 is one of my all time favorites.

I dunno. "Fair" condition doesn't seem too scammy. Sometimes all we old people can handle is one photo. Ballpark of another I looked at with a Perkins in it, but older, lower price.

Do Fortier's command a premium? If so, why?

I contacted him. It is not a scam, he said the following;

“The hull needs a solid cleaner wax, maybe a heaver compounding. The woodwork needs to be revarnished down to bare wood. The top deck is chalky (1986 boat). There is no fiberglass damage, all gel coat UV oxidation over decades. A top paint job would be appropriate, and resetting of glass, if your going for it.”


And also reiterated that the mechanicals are in excellent working order. Personally at this price I like it but I am afraid it is a little too soon for me to make a move it.

For the right person, that is a money maker.

Guys, I never said or implied it was a scam. My only issue was if you’re selling a boat, include some more pictures, it’s not hard. Like the 38 Libby, $165 but only 2 pics.

Based on those pics, and the boat really needing just a lot of elbow grease, and if mechanicals are very good, then $30k is a great price

Good price. My friends 86 sold for about that much with a fresh rebuilt Cummins (100 hrs) granted he passed away and his brother was looking to get rid of it quickly but the brokers valued it at 45-50k

I apologize. I could swear I saw someone say "scam" and it warn't you.

That was me.

When it clear I was wrong, I removed my claim it was a scam from the thread.

I don’t want to scare anyone off if they’re interested. Sorry for the confusion.
