FS: Ferro cement hull with provenance in San Francisco, CA
As ferro goes this boat has been built to last. It includes a 'during
construction' inspection letter from Joseph Hartog, the designer. Outfitted for true coastal cruising, or to live aboard, this well maintained 53' Ketch may be for you. Check it out... http://www.knosys.com/mason/taurus Jon Lancelle Mason Yachts Sausalito, CA 415.332.8070 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rec.boats.marketplace is a moderated newsgroup.

While the use of concrete as boatbuilding medium is quite valid, the
reality is, that with few exceptions, they are usually pretty ugly, difficult to insure, and impossible to get finianced by conventional lenders. Most of the time, they look better as sidewalks...

I've been in the marine industry in SF Bay for eight years, and there
is NO ferro worth that money, anywhere, no matter what the appointments are, in that size range in this economy. IF the boat was an inspected vessel it would be worth more than the $20k it's worth now, but not 175k, come on!

What would you say a realistic asking price for the vessel would be?
Have you seen the vessel? What are your qualifications? Due to reputation, insurance and financing problems associated with Ferro built boats, her value is overstated. She's also 30 years old. Her price, if in ideal condition should be at least 75K less. RB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rec.boats.marketplace is a moderated newsgroup.

Don't give up, what you are doing is exactly what this newsgroup is for. Giving a "no pressure" link to your web site or street address in your sig might help for traffic in general anyway.

I agree 100%. I have seen a few ferro boats which would serve humanity
best as artificial reefs. There is no doubt ferro hulls are best left to the history books. The one we are listing ranks at the top of them. In terms of constant maintenance and upgrading by the original(and still) owner for all these years, I must say, it is capable of cruising for several years to come. My only complaint, being 6'2", is the head room has been custom fit at around 5'8". The subset of buyers is small, to say the least. When an owner has so much respect for his boat, who am I to say it's worth any less? I'm just the messenger. jkl wrote in message ...
