$300/22' sailboat & trailer .... roadside Holderness
A 1981 O'Day 22' sailboat and galvanized steel, custom trailer is priced with a hardware store, orange & black sign taped to the hull "For Sale $300, 603 968-7336."
Located in Holderness, along side Route 25, in front of Squam Lakes Assoc building ...... driving past yesterday ..... just had to make a u-turn, go back and check it all out. Believe this very same sailboat was in the same exact spot. 'bout three years ago with a sale price for $3000, and now it is priced at $300. Fiberglass hull with a cuddy cabin, all white with faded blue accent lines, 22' length, 7'2" wide, draft 23", 1800-lbs weight, sail area 196 sq ft ..... has a mostly flat bottom with a stubby short, permanent keel that extends down about 14" and assume is weighted heavy ..... it is a permanent keel that is designed into the fiberglass hull and is not a retractable centerboard www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbG4F1GrmOc .... is similar to this 1976 O'Day 22. Looks to be more of a de-mold, clean and wax, teak oil restoration than a repair type of a fix .... everything is all factory original including the very good, sailboat trailer ..... sails-no clue ...... assume it needs all new sails and a 15-hp sail outboard? "...... Squamie to self ...... let's just loose that old boat ..... it's ain't new & shiny ..... no more! ..... and besides, it's too big for Squam ..... that old boat belongs on Lake Winnipesaukee."

You are always looking for a cheap deal and appear to have plenty of time to waste.
Go buy it. What's stopping you? |

You are totally, 100% correct, and it is unbelievable, incredibly tempting! Is a lot of sailboat ...... and definitely ...... my type of a price!
..... cheers! Do I have the room for a 22' sailboat on a nice trailer out on my driveway? You know, with one of those $40 electric, oil filled, 1500-watt, room heaters that looks like a small cast iron radiator and a 12-guage by 100' extension cord, one could camp out in that large cuddy cabin, out in the driveway, deep with January snow, and be dream'n about sailing it in July!

... 100-yards up the road from the O'Day-22, also in front of Squam Lakes Assoc, there's a 2006 Hunter 17' sailboat that's all open with no cabin, just two long bench seats extending almost all 17' that was donated ...... price $4750 and probably trailer not included(?) ...... seems excellent cond
..... so's for $5050, you can get two sailboats, today, Saturday Oct 19! ...... $300 plus $4750 ......plus the trailer with the $300 boat looks like a $2500 galv sail trailer and it is included with the $300-price. A large family of eleven could all go sailing on scenic Lake Winnipesaukee, and fit in that beautiful Hunter-17 with those two long bench seats ..... or the varsity soccer team ..... or, maybe 29 Cuban boat people, all crammed-jammed on-board, and trying to escape-sail from Havana to Key West , across 105-wild ocean miles ..... are we there yet? ....... where the h is Key West at 4-am? ……………………. Today is Oct 22 and both sailboats are still there, by the side of the road, in beautiful Holderness, at the Squam Lakes Association ……. for $300. that a very nice 22' sailboat and even nicer trailer.
