2236.0. "Need info on O'day 25" by SNAX::DEMOSS () Mon Sep 18 1995 17:58

dtn: 225-5584

I am looking for some "general" information..  There is a 25' ODay that will
become available shortly to purchase.  

	1979 25' O Day
	15 hp inboard/outboard
	roller 
	main
	jib
	loran
	vhf
	
Many other "homey" things...  I am very familiar with the boat, as I have
actually shared it with them for the past couple of years.  They are moving to
the west coast and are not going to take it with them.  It will be offered to
me within the next week and he will need to know as soon as possible I am sure.

He hasn't indicated a price yet, and I am not sure what it is worth..  Does
anyone have any idea of what they have been selling for???

Any info would be helpful..

Thanks
`Charlie'

2236.1Right time of the year to buyMCS873::KALINOWSKIWed Oct 04 1995 21:3119
    
    From an Internet search I did, a low of $6400 to a high of $13500 for a 79
    ODay 25. All the boats seem to have the same gear. Avg was about
    $10,500. Almost all were in New England /New York.
    
    Questions you need to ask:
    
    How good is the shape of hull (groundings, scratches etc)?
    How good is the shape of the sails ?
    Is it the original Rigging (you are getting toward the end of life of 
    a original ss rigging system ( and this ain't cheap to replace)?
    How much do you want this boat?
    How close of a friend is this?  
    
    It's the end of the year and nobody buys now. And Winter Storage
    (400-600 bucks) is coming up. Could make for a good deal if this is
    what you want.
