Description

1977 Catalina 27 sailboat with a clear title, located on land in the Rock Hall, Maryland area near the Chesapeake Bay. For security, the exact storage location will only be provided to serious buyers after a viewing appointment is confirmed.

The boat includes its mast, boom, mainsail, roller-furling jib and related sailing equipment. It is powered by a 30 HP Universal Atomic 4 gasoline inboard engine. The engine ran properly when the boat was last used approximately two years ago, but it has not been recently started or tested.

Equipment and features include:

• 30 HP Universal Atomic 4 gasoline inboard engine
 • Roller-furling jib
 • Mainsail, mast and boom
 • Dodger
 • Knot meter and depth sounder
 • Marine toilet with holding tank
 • Sink and built-in ice chest
 • Gasoline filter with water separator
 • Upgraded exhaust and cooling system with thermostat
 • Magnetic-reluctor electronic ignition conversion, eliminating traditional distributor points
 • Bottom previously treated with two coats of epoxy
 • Bottom paint applied

The boat has been stored securely on land for more than two years and has been scrubbed and cleaned. Its storage fees are paid and current. The supporting boat stands are believed to belong to the storage facility and are not included in the sale.

This is an older project boat that will need inspection, maintenance and some repairs or replacement items before launching. The engine, fuel system, electrical equipment, plumbing, rigging, sails, instruments, hull and deck should all be inspected and serviced by the buyer before use.

Some exterior photographs showing the boat in the water were taken when it was last used approximately two years ago. Current photographs are also included to show its condition and interior. Serious buyers are welcome to arrange an in-person inspection.

The boat is sold as-is and where-is. The buyer is responsible for arranging continued storage, launching, loading or transportation after purchase.

I am the owner’s granddaughter and am helping my grandparents sell the boat. I will handle most buyer communication, answer questions, share additional photographs and coordinate viewing appointments. My grandparents are the legal owners, and the clear title and required sale paperwork will be completed with them when the sale is finalized. For their privacy and security, please communicate with me through this listing rather than attempting to contact them directly.

Asking $3,500 or best reasonable offer. Cash preferred. Motivated sellers willing to consider reasonable offers from buyers prepared to complete the purchase promptly.

Proof of ownership and the clear title will be available during the sale, but private documents and the exact storage location will not be provided before a legitimate viewing appointment is confirmed.

No trades, payment plans, shipping arrangements, third-party checks or verification codes.
