I'll be in Atlanta for a few days before/after New Years and thought I
might do some window shopping for a smallish sailboat on Lake Lanier.
Looking along the lines of a Catalina 22 +/- or similar. Last time I
toured that area (2 yrs ago), I saw a couple boat storage yards with
For Sale signs on quite a few boats. I wasn't shopping then though. I
don't know if I can find those same storage yards again, but I'll try.
Meanwhile, is there an area in particular where I need to look? Or
Brokers I need to put on my shopping list? Or other suggestions?
TIA,
Rick

If you are intending to sail on Lanier, perhaps you'd want a sailboat
with wheels to run along the dry lake bed.

Make sure you contact Snug Harbor, they represent Catalina on Lake
Lanier and will have brokered boats available.

Ah ha! I always thought Waylon Smithers had 'training wheels' on his
imaginary boat....... now I realize it's to help roll along the lake bottom.

You must be a mind reader. I'll need wheels. Not for Lake Lanier, but
for sailing 400 miles down I-85 to I-65 to I-10 and home.
Thanks,

I'd bet boats are going for give-away prices on dry LAke LAnier.

Been there. I think I can find 'em again. I'll give 'em a call for
directions though.

Brokers will ask "What Drought?" and try to hold up the prices.

Here's a better place with much lower commissions:

Just change atlanta to your favorite city for more local
listings.

Craig's List is a great place to advertise and buy anything....
