For Sale: 87 Newburyport 37 ***SOLD***

I bought this a year ago Spring with plans for full-time cruising starting this Summer. Spent all winter re-doing just about all the systems on board. Unfortunately, life sometimes gets in the way of boating and it is now for sale -- asking $85K/BO. This is a limited "Preview" offer, as I have talked with a broker and will likely move the boat to Annapolis and list it with him before the Power Boat Show in a couple of weeks. His price (surprise, surprise) is higher.

Thanks,

DVD, She looks great. Sorry you have to sell her, I've been reading your posts along the last year with great interest. Is Ad-Lib too big a boat for a first timer?

That is a sweet looking boat. Love the tool pouches in the engine room. A lot of work......sure hope you get your $$ out of it.

No, just so long as you take your time, have a captain on board to teach you how to pilot, and learn your systems. Our first boat is 35' and it might have taken 6 months for us to be truly confident with our boat.

SB -

Size is relative. We met a couple last week who were on their first boat - a brand new Kady Krogen 48! If approached in a sensible manner with appropriate instruction and some patience, most any boat can be handled well. My wife and I cruise this one with no problems. She does not have a lot of experience, but took a trawler-handling course last year and now has the wheel in and out of the slip, anchoring, getting fuel, etc. while I handle the lines.

Healhustler -

Thanks for the sentiment, but I would never expect to get a neutral cash-out on a boat. I look at boats like other vehicles that depreciate over time and use, even with some fixin' up and appropriate maintenance, I expect a loss. Not whining, just that's the way it is.

DVD, Would you post more exterior pictures? Or send a link of similar models.
Thanks, Helmling

Here are some more pics -- some are from when I first got her (don't seem to have many exterior pics). There aren't many others like her around. These were semi-custom boats ordered by the importer and built individually to specs by the Hershine yard.

I'm delivering it to the broker (Annapolis Sail Yard) on Monday (Oct. 8) where it will be hauled and listed for a quick sale at $82.5K. In the broker's contract I included a discount (reduced commission) if a buyer saw it here first.

Trying to get a perspective on the salon....is there more seating across from the settee (I can see a little yellow in one photo)? Is the fridge an under the counter type? How far is the head of the bed set in to the built in cabinetry? Any photos of the teak deck? Photos of the bridge? Seating on the bridge and upper helm? Thanks!

The only seating on the starboard side in the salon is at the lower helm (it has a yellow cushion). The 120/12V Norcold fridge/freezer is undercounter. The aft bunk is recessed more on the starboard side because of the "dressing cabinet" on that side. In real-world use, we found it more comfortable with the head of the bunk forward and feet in the recess. There is back-to-back seating P & S on the bridge with a considerable amount of storage under the seats. Newly-upholstered blue Sunbrella cushions are on the bridge. The teak deck were totally re-caulked and lightly sanded this past winter. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures that you requested. The boat is at the broker's yard in Annapolis and I'll probably be stopping by there this weekend, so will try to get more pics.

Thanks,

If the boat is 1987 , most of the deprecation is gone , condition , condition ,condition (paint) sell the boat.

The loss will be in "upgrades" your labor mostly , tho if it helps condition there will be a return in shorter sales time.

The biggest loss will be electronics, almost valueless as your version is not the "newest " version with even more toys included.

is the boat still available?

Nope, we are the new owners!
