W.D. Schock Santana 25 w/ Tohatsu 9.9 --- make an offer!

Description

1973 W.D. Schock Santana 25 w/ 2013 Tohatsu 9.9 HP 4-stroke outboard motor, with electronic ignition and battery charging system. She is a masthead sloop, 24.5' long, draws 4'. Currently on the hard in Newington, NH, but ready to launch and sail away, or you could store her for the winter and launch in the spring. Specs here: http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=576. Price reduced to $3000 for boat and motor, or $2,000 for boat with a smaller motor (5HP Mercury 2-stroke, which pushes this boat just fine!).

The good: price includes 2013 Tohatsu 9.9 hp longshaft 4-stroke outboard motor with electric start and charging system, worth $2,200 new, very well maintained and with very low hours (<50). Starts and runs flawlessly. Sails include main (2 reef points), roller-furling jib, and spinnaker, and are all functional. Sleeps four with berths on both sides and v-berth in bow. Equipment includes 5 gallon gas tank, port and starboard illuminated compasses, newish VHF radio, newish porta-potti (2011), Danforth anchor w/ 300' rode, mosquito netting for hatches. New bottom paint this year, new cockpit sole (fiberglass over hardwood ply) in 2016, new roller furler drum and fore stay in 2013. Custom keel work by the original owner extending the fin keel makes this boat point like a dream, and her narrow hull lets her cut through the chop. This is a great first overnight coastal cruiser for a small family, or a daysailer on Great Bay or the Atlantic for someone who really likes to fly. This boat is turn-key: ready to sail, and could launch and sail away tomorrow.

The bad: most annoying issue is a slow through-deck rainwater drip on the starboard side, which I haven't been able to track down, but which is probably coming through the rub rail. Leak has caused staining of interior wood veneer in places. Topside woodwork is in good shape but needs refinishing. Sails are in functional condition but will need replacing in a few years, with one patch on jib done by the folks at Northsail. Needs a topside paint job. Windows will need resealing soon, and top hatch board should be replaced.

Other: can include an 8’ fiberglass dinghy for a little extra. Would also consider selling boat and Tohatsu motor separately ($1500 for boat, $1750 for motor), or selling the boat with a smaller motor (5HP Mercury longshaft 2-stroke) for $2000. Can arrange for boat to be launched on request - she is ready to sail away! - and would include sailing lesson(s) for someone new to sailing.
