Why? it's steel


The boat is obviously never going
to be competitive, but it could make a real fun daysailor.

With that draft? I guess if one had free use of a hoist.

You're right. It looks painted. Still not so bad, especially if it's
been launched from a hoist and not dunked.

Hoists aren't hard to find. And you could still ramp launch it if you
really wanted to... have to cut a notch in the rear bunk, maybe. Or keep
it in the water.

Last summer I met a little old lady (well OK, a fair bit older than me
but obviously in good shape) who has a Star. She's the head of the math
department in the Midwest and singlehands it for fun on nice days... I
guess what she calls a nice day, she means light wind... but still, I
was impressed.

And what is wrong with a steel trailor? I guess the trailors you pull
with your truck are all plastic huh?

If the boat was steel It be a great Deal. If it was then people would
not have o ask questions like. Does it have any soft spots.

Bwahahaha the power of steel.

Steel is ok, versus galvanized which is great.

If the trailer was galvanized, i'd buy it just for the trailer and resell
it.

A galvy trailer can cost $3500 to $4000 or more new. This one
isn't that big. So if it was galvanized I'd guess it would be worth
around $2500.

Being painted steel the value is much less.

As Doug pointed out, it is unlikely it has been dunked. People
usually drop them in with a hoist.
