CP 16 on Craigslist in NJ

[Reighnman]

Came across it last night. For $150 it must be rough shape but if you live in the area it might be a deal. My wife would sell me if I brought another boat into the yard for winter storage. I promise her no and then sent an email with no response yet:)

From the seller: "Couple of things about the boat. I can't seem to locate the paperwork. The boat is in the water right now and needs to be taken out by the purchaser. The main sail has a tear but is repairable. The jib is in good condition. The tiller has been weathered and bashed so it will need to be replaced or repaired (has to be sanded and glued. Possibly just bound and taped. ) The hull is in decent shape and the drainage system in the boat is clogged just plastic pipes so running high pressure hose to rinse out. The cabin is filled with water due to leaving the hatch open during the rains. 

The boat has a blue motor mount. One of the tie downs has been ripped out. Bolts broke so needs to be replaced. The rigging is quite old now but will work for a while longer. This is why the price is $150 or best offer."

Oh no!!! And in NJ, no less!

Ok Bob this is ur chance to get that 16 and have it cost less than the initial visit to a divorce attorney!

Bob...we need to go get this. Lesa can't pass up on a deal, she'll surely put up the $150...I just need help getting it home.

PS. But owner has to find the paperwork. :/

[Bob23]

Now I'm in deep shit! Let's do it, Kev! Maybe the wives can get a deal on 2 divorces!

[Mas]

Ah.....the sounds of a boat being adopted.....and the concurrent shuffle of "wut, imma not sure why that boat's thar...how'd that git there? Well...ill be!"

[Bob23]

I always wondered how living on a 23 would feel. Guess I'm about to find out!!

[K3v1n]

I sent an email concerning paperwork.
In NJ the boat is useless without the title.

Let me know when you schedule the pump and PBR bash...

[Reighnman]

Here's a link to the process for replacing a lost title. Doesn't seem that hard for the current owner.

I can provide Bauer 12 and extra Torqeedo 1003, to help with tow...

Looks like excuses are running out to save this poor cp 16....

It looks like you NJ guys have this under control. However, K3v1n, if you mostly want to save the boat from certain doom but don't so much want another boat, I'm interested as well. However, I'm in VA so logistics are a bit more complicated. Trailer certainly would need to be road worthy. And like NJ, title for trailer and boat are essential.

any idea how long it's been full of water? I'm concerned about a hard freeze and damage to the ballast/keel.

[K3v1n]

Haven't heard peep back from the guy. :/

Also Lesa said if he can produce a title she'll give me the cash!

@ Brian. It said the boat has a motor mount, perhaps we could just mount the Torqeedo on it?

PS. This would make a great video adventure! lol

[Finbar Beagle]

Kevin- it looked like motor mount not really mounted, but if secure, would We can strap a Torqeedo on it (with a line and float attached....just in case. Motor is waterproof,, kinda...)

definitly video worthy quest...I
