Hi folks. My name is Shaun. I'm here because I have a beautiful old boat I cannot work on, and I am looking a new home for her. She's a 1960 Skagit 21' Express (20' model, licensed as a 21'), sitting on a 1978 EZLoader trailer. To be very honest, she is a bare-hull restoration project. The engine was seized and unrecoverable, the transmission is gone, but prop, shaft, rudder, and steering gear is all there. The trailer is all there, but needs the rollers adjusted to fit this boat. It used to hold a Bayliner Nisqually 2350 Command Bridge, so the size difference is significant.
There's lots of stuff that comes with her, some of it brand new and never even taken out of the package it came in. I am happy to give details as requested.
I can no longer do the work to rebuild her. I've got 7 inches of metal and plastic in my low back now, and the head-down a**-up work she needs is beyond my ability now. This was "the dream of a life-time" project for me. I am less concerned with how much money I have into her than I am in finding someone that appreciates her.
My price is low... four 6-volt golf cart batteries. From my local auto-parts store they are $150 a copy. That's $600, or four new-off-the-shelf batteries in your truck bed when you get here. There's more than that in goodies that come with her, to say nothing of the teak and stainless steel.
I walk out and see this boat every blasted day, and it just tears at me. Someone PLEASE take this boat and give her a good home.
I have been told by one of the members here that this is actually a 1957-58 with sliding side windows. It's licensed as a 1960.
