Step one of building a boat is of course to sell the old boat. Especially when I only have one boat parking space. I can't sell it as a 'fixer upper', so I will be refinishing the pealing paint on the seats and gunwales, and maybe a new coat of captains varnish in places.
Boat for sale: Cosine Wherry - 14' (SOLD)
Mathematically designed for efficient rowing and stability. Designed by John Hartsock, published in the book “Rip, Strip, & Row!” by J.D. Brown.
Built of Western Red Cedar strip and fiberglass by R. Durand in 1997. 14’2” length; 4’4” beam; approximate weight 140 lbs. Seats and trim recently refinished.
Oars and trailer included, asking $3,000.
I'm trying to figure out where to sell it. Do I try Craigs-List, Ebay,
publish an ad in Wooden Boat magazine? Should I take it to a boat
Festival? Toledo Oregon has a festival in July and the entrance fee is
is only $75. I saw a Cosine Wherry sell online for $4,200 w/o trailer,
but it was in pristine condition. I'm worried that it may take months
and I'll have to let it go for a pittance.
I posted on our family blog about my plans to build a new boat and sell this one. Less than 48 hours later, I got a call from my brother. His wife had seen the post. He called and said 'consider it sold'. Knock me over with a feather... that was easy!
