Leap of Faith

Post by tombaF30 »

Hello all,

Pre Newbie Trojan owner here. Just sold my skeeter bass boat . Got tired of having to get off the lake at dusk, ready to make that dream a reality.

Im Located in southern Ontario. Plan on buying a F30 or F32.
Im looking for a project boat with a solid hull and reliable powerplants mid 70's early 80's or a decent f30/f32 turnkey for under 15000cdn.

anyone?

thanks

Welcome to the forum.

One of our forum members, Aaron, has an F32 for sale for $14,800 US. Not sure how that converts but his user name is aaronbocknek. You can message him if interested. His is in very good condition.

thanks for the plug on my f-32. feel free to ask any questions you might have about my 1976 f-32. engines and genset run strong and she is in good structural shape too. only selling because i want to move up to a 36 tri cabin. not sure how you would get her from maryland to canada other than hauling her over land. there is a fantastic boat yard roughly 1000 yards from my marina that can handle the haul out, fly bridge removal, and shrink wrap on the flat bed.
on another note, my dad, is from toronto (downsview area) and our family owned a 1972 f-36 tri cabin from 1972 until 2008. we even drove up to the canadian factory in march of 1972 when we were visiting family for passover. we arrived on a very special day at the niagra on the lake factory.... we watched the hull of our boat being pulled from the mold. so, in essance, i watched her being born. i was heart broken when dad sold her. i grew up on that boat and knew every inch of her. however, i'm willing to develop a fond relationship with another tri cabin hopefully sooner than later.
regards,

If $15K Canadian isn't quite your top dollar, you might be interested in our 1978 F32.

Thanks for the fast replies. Unfortunately 15K cdn is my top dollar amount. You have to draw the line somewhere. Aaron Thanks for the offer, i must decline I was hoping for a Canadian boat preferably one in and around Lake simcoe or georgian bay area.

the search continues.....

Not sure you will find an F32 in Canada at that price... look in the Detroit area, still freshwater and you should find one there.
