Avoid Scams.
Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.
Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.
Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.
Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
- Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
- No posts or very few forum posts.
- Recent forum membership
- Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
- Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
- Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
- Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.
Wanted: Cheoy Lee 61 or Hatteras LRC 58/65

Too bad you didn’t find a Hatteras, they wouldn’t have that import duty.

I've sometimes wondered if some of the Hatt ladders could be converted to/replaced with staircases.
Never got too serious about it, though, mostly 'cause of two-stroke DDs and some 32V DC systems on older Hatts that I might like and/or be able to afford. Some owners say those are no big deal, though.

We looked at a 58LRC and the ladder to the bridge was an issue fo us too. We have a 90 pound Lab that couldn’t do the ladder. I designed a hoist in my mind to lift him up and down. But my wife didn’t like the boat so it didn’t matter.
We had a Hatt 70 under contract last fall, but it failed to get off the dock for sea trial 3 times.
I had planned on changing the ladder out to stairs, but it was going to be a very involved project.
I had a hard time just getting up through the ladder/hatch. I’m 6’-4” so I kind of have to contort myself a bit to snake up through. And the wife didn’t see us carrying food and dishes up there to enjoy the flybridge with that ladder.
That’s how we zeroed in on the Cheoy Lee. The stairway is passable for us, the kids and the dog.

I have seen very nice Cheoy Lee’s. They sure make a lot of different boat styles including some very sea worthy long range boats.
This CL 61 was fairy active in our area and then it went up for sale. I googled it, and apparently it was sold. It could have been awhile ago.

Update
Survey is starting on Wednesday. Keeping my
Fingers crossed that the boat is as advertised in the listing.
I’m looking for a good maritime attorney to help with the importing. Does anyone know of one they can recommend? I have enlisted Howard Reeder Inc to do the leg work once the boat is purchased, but I want to engage an attorney prior to purchase to make sure the boat was closed properly at the the last sale (offshore in international waters to preserve the previously paid duty/taxes to the US).
Thanks all

Any update? I love those big Cheoy Lees. This one in Seattle is no longer listed as "Sale Pending" so might be back on the market as well.

The update is the survey was cancelled by the seller due to a family medical emergency, so we are rescheduling for another day. I'm anticipating a pretty long, drawn out process to get this deal to happen, assuming the boat is acceptable.
So an update on this process for anyone interested:
Surveyor got on the bought a month and a half ago, but the owner didn't seem to happy to have him poking around. Prior to that, the owner "rejected" the diesel mechanic due to some personal conflict stemming from the mechanic's daughter and the owner's daughter or something. Owner wanted me to use his diesel mechanic (told him not a chance - my guy or nothing).
Fast forward to today - Surveyor has tried several times to reschedule the survey and sea trial, but the owner is non responsive.
Bottom line - not a good feeling, too much small island drama. Unfortunately I think I will be moving on with my search to find a different boat.

Greetings,
Mr. PPD. IF you decide to proceed with the CL, keep in mind regarding the "Chinese" import duty, that when the CL was made, Hong Kong was in BRITISH hands. Perhaps there is a legal work around that your attorney can build on.

That is a shame. Seems like he doesn't want to sell - hard to sell a huge boat in a faraway location with import challenges even in a strong market. You'd think he'd be jumping through hoops to make sure the deal closes. Keep us posted - I love those big old Chevy Lees & the one in the PNW has been tempting me for months.
