We have been asked to list a Morgan Out Islander 33 on our brokerage.
Problem is that the owner stripped boat interior and is only part way
through restoration so it is not suitable for listing. Perhaps someone in
this group is looking for a project? If so, we can put you in touch with the
owner.

The owner bought this boat with the idea of completely refitting for use as
a liveaboard. As a result, he removed much of the interior as well as the
engine, stove etc. He has done a lot of work, but there is still a lot to
do. Some items are listed below:

- paint interior of hull (owner has it prepared for painting)
- finish and paint interior woodwork plus re-install trim
- reinstall stove, plumbing, lighting, electrical panels etc.
- reinstall engine (owner would do this if need be)
- strip and repaint mast
- etc??

Much of the hardware to complete is available. The engine is on a test
stand and can be run.

This is without question a project boat. Depending on how well it is
finished, it could be worth say US$30-$40k (C$45-$60,000). The boat could
be put into condition to be sailed in a few months.


If there is anyone that is interested, there are some details at
www.windjammersails.com and we can email more pictures of the interior as it
is now.

Brian - We are talking about the Trailer AND the boat

- A HD trailer capable of handling an O33 IS worth about $4k and one is
included!

Lets be specific please. This is a 1974, almost thirty years old. I
forgot the trailer so add $2k. I'll up Brian's offer to $6,000.

Graham, What do you mean that Canadian is not worth as much. These
French Canadian guys that come down here tell me that Canadian is worth
more now. I've been giving them $1.10 American.

What they've been showing you is probably something called "Canadian Tire
money", coupons redemable at a national retail chain in Canada. Passing
off Canadian Tire money as Canadian currency is a favourite passtime of
Canadans travelling abroad. Sort of like Americans passing of Confederate
money as US currency up here.

The Canadian dollar is currently worth about 72 cents US. US dollar is
therefore worth 100/72 or $1.39 Canadian. You give them 72 cents. They
give you $1.39.
