11 years ago I bought my 1980 Watkins 27 sailboat. 30-some years of hoping, dreaming and saving; two years of research and browsing......
After travelling far and wide (for me!) and seeing nothing but "bad" boats, I spied a likely candidate that had been listed for over a year and price-dropped at every listing.
Sadly she'd been dropped back in the water just before a nasty storm, leading to (fresh) water in the bilge, a few topside scrapes and sagging rub rails. All good for dickering. ;)
Last listed at $4600, i got the dealer down to $3850 all in; tags, title, transfer, winter storage and drop-in come Spring; amounting to $2800 actually in the boat.
Soft foredeck, soft spots on cabin top, gel cracks around stress points; BUT.....
a virtually new, 80 hr. Beta 20, at the time worth over $3500 used! And an all original, untouched interior.
I can fix fiberglass. I can source sails. I can install bits and bobs; but I'm not a diesel mechanic.
Sailed/motored it home 17 mi. and have had a glorious time sailing, fixing and relaxing for all these years
So.....I bought an almost new engine and drive train, at a 70% discount and a sound hull and rigging came with it.
Don't discount the fixer-uppers too hard. Cash on hand, deep research, dickering skills and patience may get you on the water, living your dream.

Great blog to watch… thank you for sharing
I have the bug and off soon to Malaysia to look at buying a boat somewhere in the 40ft range
Can you do me a favour and do a video on buying your first boat and things to look for obvious i will get a survey done on it before i sign but would be a great head start
Keep up the videos and happy new year from Fremantle in Western Australia

You are the reason your channel is not growing. So boring.

With regard to the engine: Accessibility equals serviceability.

One thing not mentioned.
Older boats can have problems getting Insurance. Most if not all Marinas require at the least liability insurance. Check out that before getting your work project.

I've been wondering if buying a boat would be better than a trailer to tow and live in.

I got a macgregor, it will never be worth a dime more than the engine is worth.

Surprised that osmosis didn't get a mention here.. I've walked away from 3 boats due to osmosis.. yes, an early indication can be successfully treated but anything more advanced could end up as a fate worse than death…labour costs these days are a killer it's why we see so few beautifully designed wooden boats now.

IMO it has to do with the amount of money you will pour in it vs its value; spend 30k fixing a 10k boat and it will become a 10k boat some idiot sank 30k in…
