Hello Friends of Freedom boats.
I have one and im thinking about putting it on the market, so im just going to throw this out there:
where do you think is the best place (choose from Caribbean or East Coast) to sell a Freedom boat? Im saying this knowing that with internet sales it almost doesnt matter but i am very aware that a boat with an unstayed mast will turn off 19 out of 20 prospective buyers, and i think people on the East Coast would be most familiar with and open to such a vessel. Let me know your thoughts…
They came from Kingston, RI. I venture to guess that you would find the most lovers of unstayed masts in that area. I had never seen one before, but as soon as I did, I knew I wanted mine. There are none like it in the Finger Lakes of NY.
Close. Warren, RI and Melville, RI.
Yes…i know…I’m told Annapolis area might be a good shot, but hey, keep going north, why not…
You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting one on Long Island Sound.
I could see four others from my mooring a few years back. This is also a hotbed for Nonsuch boats, so the unstayed mast thing is not as big an issue here as it may be in other places.
What model are you selling… ??
My F 40/40 is on Lake Ontario. I know of at least two others on Lake Ontario plus quite a few other models. RCR and Rochester used to be a broker. It is a niche boat. If someone is looking for one, they will find you.
Please pm me if you have a large cat ketch…
Thanks
For what it’s worth, i bought mine in Baltimore, not far from Annapolis. Being based in UK i felt it was easier access and easier to refit than the Caribbean.
