A-50 Revival/For Sale

[Howard]

Not to mention the sails. Joe, I'll gladly sell her to you for 10. :cool:

She is a great boat, if/when she is in my backyard she will be even more attractive.
Frank, I have pictures from a Marquesas run, just need to learn how to work my (ahem) camera/phone to make them upload.:mad:

She is in Madiera Beach, have been sailing her out of Johns Pass lately. Took her off the market after two db buyers. Meant to be I guess. Will post some current pics shortly.

Does #50 have a new home? Any new adventures?

[Howard]

I have sold interest but retained rights and will be bringing her up to Dunedin either this Saturday or next. Definitely there will be pics, I swear. The new boss is a guy out of Colorado, he is planning on coming out to learn to sail over the next year or so.

I have been enlisted to help with the sale of this great boat. My fleet is now at 4 otherwise I would be thinking long and hard about her myself.
I wanted to let the fine sailors on this site have the first chance, end of next week she goes on Ebay-no reserve.

There are two trailers available here in Tampa that would fit her.

search "Revival" or "A-50" if you are not familiar. Email any questions  howardingham@yahoo.com

Times are truly tough when this boat can't draw a buyer at an advertised price of $3200 on an internet site in sailing season.

[Howard]

It is now $2,950.

This Boat Sold For Less Than $1100.00 On Ebay Today,

[Howard]

Times are not that bad. The boat sold to a local buyer for more than that, but less than it is worth IMO. A good deal had by someone who is going to live on it and use it to its fullest, I told them about this site for updates.

Big sweat.
  Happy this great Ariel has found a new owner.
Remind new owner that he could download the A-50 thread from this site and have a great pamphet on board about the boat.

Howard,

Glad you got her into the hands of her new owner.  

Is it the unique hardship of boat owners that they buy one for $5000 pour another $2000 into her and then only scrape out $3000 when they sell her?  We seem to see that time and time again.

I'm just stoked that she went to someone who will live aboard!  Any idea on where they will be?
