This is a gift! Perkins rebuild kits are very cheap.

A thrust bearing at the uni joint prop shaft interface sorts that out. At least that's the way mine is set up and has been for 40years

I'm looking for something like that but not sure I can "clearly see" the top end overhaul. Might be a missing photo?

Wow, that looks very well worth it even if you put a new donk in, assuming the rig is OK.

I cant find this ad this morning so I presume someone picked up a Cole 28 Mutiny for $1000.

Maybe the ex selling?

Yes... That could cause a Mutiny!!!

Lol...

I like this Kaufman

yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/kaufman-42/295429

Nice anchor and a lovely interior. Now if the primary winches were mounted where the mainsheet winches are you could sail all day with out getting off your butt!

Bit too expensive for me.

Good buying here, maybe location playing a factor in price

I looked at the mess in the interior and thought "must have been used as a crack den". In fact, it's even messier than that - must have had a teenager living aboard. :-)

Still a really good buy. That interior will clean up fine after a few visits to Bunnings. This is a mark one and the best I reckon. Interestingly there is a Morning Mischief and a Morning Mischief 2 and not much info on this one. www.ss34.org/index.php/directory/morningmischiefii/ Morningbird might have more information.

This seems like an exceptionally good buy

Mmm...price jumped from 159 to 259. Someone must be in the poo for the typo

Here's a 38' timber resto posted last month on Gumtree.

Love the shackle joined to shackle joined to shackle joined to shackle joined to shackle on the backstay....makes you wonder what else they've done. Probably solid but doesn't look great.

Always had a thing for Hans Chritian's, I think they are really pretty but that one is ringing alarm bells. That solar panel eye sore on the stern makes her look ugly and would be the first thing to go. I think 50 to 100k would disappear into her fast.

That said, after spending the money, you may have a great world voyager refitted with new sails and rigging and electronics, plumbing etc etc for under 200K which could a good buy. I think you would need to have a good estimate to refit and then double it to get to reality.

The WORST BOAT ADVERTISEMENT EVER.
