[Public-list] [SPAM] Re: 1961 25' Whitby

[Elaine and Brian Timmins]

North shore of Long Island is a great marketting area. (I've bought several 
boats out of Huntington and Oyster Bay). I sail out of Brooklyn (better, 
more dependable wind). The only problem with your North Shore area is that 
there are always a lot of boats on the market. Real fixer uppers at fixer 
upper prices are rare though. You'll need to find a buyer that can undertake 
the refit / rebuild, so that might take some time. Your best bet might be to 
donate it to a non profit and take the tax write off. Otherwise, costs will 
just keep on adding up until you find someone to take it off your hands for 
way less than you want to accept.
  I wish I had the time to undertake another rebuild. I'm sure she could be 
quite beautiful when done.
Good Luck,
