Hi, Am moving to Agnew and set to buy a 30' cool boat with an anchor roller and swimstep. The Sequim marina wants EXACT total measurement to the inch. Waiting till seller can provide that, which will be next week.
If 32' I have a year or two wait. If 35 slip is needed, then longer. Port Angeles similar situation as covid had filled up all the Neah Bay Bay boats in their slips
I can leave the boat, now in the Seattle area, somewhere else for that time and discover new cruising grounds. And drive to the boat. This could have some advantages, as from Sequim I would be using the boat to maybe get to the same general cruising grounds. I do not know the area, so cannot say where I will go, but PA seems to have little, can't even go to Victoria.
Sequim would be convenient, but I think I would be heading east to do my cruising and overnighting.
The other alternative is to buy a boat now for sale and already in Sequim right now. It has a slip, but is a gas with an outdrive. The boat I want to buy is diesel direct drive. The boat in Sequim is half the price and in good condition.
What I am asking is if anyone with some knowledge is in or around Sequim who can look at the 25' Skipjack, on Craigslist, and give me an opinion on its condition, etc?
Or, any suggestions? I will get a boat of some kind, and will be moving up in a month, getting settled, etc so no rush for a boat. The gas Skipjack would have the convenience of putting around nearby and immediately. The diesel would be more bucks, but further away from my home.
Thanks, Stuart
