Ariel for sale on ebay

[BJOAS]

Alas,
  I let this one sail into the sunset.  Just not enough info for my liking.  I corresponded with the owner and it sounded like a good boat.  I just couldn't part with $4000 sight unseen- even with the trailer.  Since it didn't sell, we may see it again or I might try to contact the owner for a survey.  Ebay is not the place to buy a boat but it would have been so easy to hit that bid button!

Brian,

As someone suggested, if you are open to a Commander, I have one on a trailer that's for sale in New Jersey. (See earlier post in this forum.)

It's in sailing condition, minus a motor and a battery. Price is $3,800. Trailer is two years old and I'm asking an extra $1,000 for it. Let me know if you'd like more details & pix.

P.S.  I see the Ariel on eBay did not get any bids and is being relisted.

Brian,

If you come out to NJ to see Guy's nice Commander, or get him to send you some pix, I will throw in my spare Evinrude 15 hp long shaft, rebuilt lower end and pump, vertical pull start, winterized with tank, for $100.  It was in my Ariel till I replaced it with an electric start Nissan, but I do not need it, and will deal.  Just a thought - it'll be a dependable kicker to get you started.  I live about a mile from Guy, and can send pix.

Regards
Dan

Thanks for the offer guys!  As much as I like the Commander, I'm holding out for an Ariel.  I really want something to do a little weekending with my (very) young family.  I'm willing to wait for the right boat.  I don't have a mooring for this coming year anyway but I'm pretty sure I'll have one by next season.  I guess I'll be doing some more trailer sailing and crewing this summer.  Keep me in mind if you see anything come up. Thanks again, Brian
