Over the last few years I have been following the advertising of two 1/4tonners , now just for interest sake Both have/ had reputations for being well built and quite quick in their heyday. The first is a Masters Prentice which a number of years ago was advertised in Bunderberg as a good sea boat to do the SH . WHAT! for 15000 approx. It was gradually reduced to $5000 with no luck so sailed down to Bne. moored at Jacobs Well and Re advertised for $13999 then gradually (weekly) reduced to around 5000 whereupon it disappeared for a couple of years. A few months ago it was re advertised for 13999 up in Manly then again reduced weekly down to 3999 . Now relisted a few weeks ago for 13999. Obviously the same owner as he wants to buy a bigger boat to do the SH. The owner is obviously hoping someone will jump in and buy it but knowing the last one sold some years ago for 'anything of value' it may hold my interest for a year or two yet.
The second is a Farr 727 and obviously the misses has told him to sell it.
Some years ago it was listed for $ 123456 disappeared then reappeared for something like 99999 and gradually reduced where on the 1/6/24 reduced to 74888 .
