Kitsuneonbass Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hey people! Need some advice about buying a used cat. Have been wanting to learn to sail and tried scouring the local area for anyone who would part with a beach cat at a reasonable price. I found, in just one local area, has nearly 10 cats of various sizes mostly abandoned on the dunes, subject to the whim of the elements. However, no owner is inclined to part with them. Only had one reply, that is this hydra 16 seen in the attached pictures. The owner, just up the coast won't state what he wants for it, I expect he is also fishing for a price! Trailer is untowable at moment, flat tyres, wheel bearings, u-bolts to the axel needing work. Anyone got an idea about what sort of dollars I should pay for something like this, which has sat here for this (years) long? I'm about a third of the way up the Qld Coast.

darcy1945 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 $300/$1000, depending on condition of sails and tramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Check mast, boom and beams, for corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsuneonbass Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Thanks Darcy1945. I was going to offer in that range. At least now I know that it wouldn't be a rude offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
