Not in too bad a nick either - ribs are in good condition, interior and exterior of boat has been painted enough to prevent bad degradation and there are only couple of split planks each side.  Has mast and boom and couple of sails.

Any idea what the little Nutshell Pram is worth?

Howdy Sassy,

I don't think it works that way. If you want to put in an offer you can contact
[email protected]

Then if your offer is the best you win the boat - like any auction your offer would be legally binding.

Best wishes
Michael.

You mean if I make him an offer he cant refuse its mine????

Man... mmm wonder if he would take slave labor over cash? swap him some Jarrah and Sheoak for her? gawd I'll swap the flamin missus!! nah just joking

But hell I wonder how I can get hold of her?

Hey, we could dip Ding in a tub of poxy then flog him off as an antique figure head. Might get enough to finance a barby

I am well aware of how an offer works, I was just after a guide. I want to offer a fair price but obviously not too much, I do not wish to be ripped off. I know that CapeBoatWorks sell a kit for a tad under $1000. Let's say 40 hours to be build the boat, Duck Flat labour is billed at $55 per hour, so therefore the boat should be about $3000 new. You couldn't sell it for that.
The idea of an auction from a buyer's perspective is to get an item for the lowest possible price. And obviously a thing is worth what somebody pays for it.
I think I'll offer somewhere around $600.00.
Once again thanks. Wish me luck

you aint eatin much nowadays are you Richard!!

sassy boat prices are a bit iffy to say the least and woodenboat prices more so... what you may consider a good price may well be WAY over what theyre hoping for and then again may be WAY under... speculate

I was thinking of offering $5 for Kirrabilli meself... lowest bid wins right?

And then I dont think shed be worth much more cause with a name like that the PM of the day would expect a sail But!! I reckon most of them could make pretty flamin good anchors or moorings so maybe shes worth more?

What yer reckon Mik? Should I email Ted and say I want her for a song or what? feel him out? maybe you bein his mate an all could chip in a good word about your great boat mad mate ion the west coast who drools over a boat just like that and would be forever gratefull if he would accept a token offering and send it over so he can lavish love and tenderness on her and heck throw in that Id expect him and you over for the laurnch!!... heck I may even make a more concentrated effort to get to the next boat show with her... just athought betwixt mates... hell Id even come get her!!... But if I have to rely on that auction Im stuffed.

Howdy,

Some people get them built - but I don't know if this one is Duck built or being sold on behalf of a client.

Best wishes
And good luck too!

Well - you can always try - but none of the boats will be going for nothing at all. The purpose of course is to sell them for most of the money they are worth.

I don't think you'll get far for $5 but I did mention the offer about your missus to Ted.

I think he might plan to get her building and repairing boats in the workshop.

NOW - that would be a turn up for the books!!!!

Its not a closing down sale by chance action all the big stuff first then sell the rest at discounted rate to clear the decks

Nah, we wouldn't be that lucky Steve. Besides, we need to keep Mik in business

Richard

Howdy guys,

I don't think they are planning to fold up - their lease here is up in a few months and they are just getting rid of excess stuff incase they have to move. It's also being tied into a sale of shop items as a general promotion thingy.

So it is all the stuff that is hard and awkward to move that's going.

Here is a part list of some other cool stuff
(some things - notably two larger inboard engines - have been sold already)

Blaxland Super Pup Engine - running

Blaxland bits - No valves at all, twin cranshafts, carbies, magnetos

Ford 10 with gearbox

2 x seagulls - one is running, one is for wrecking - separately listed

Volvo Penta Gearbox - up to around 120hp

Marine Penta inboard - runs

Yanmar Diesel (15hp?) - not running

Mercruiser 120 sterndrive - engine complete and running, sterndrive unit OK - gearbox fault

Mercruiser Turbo Diesel - good nick

BBQ - stainless steel for boat

Exotic outboard - british ANZANI - complete - good compression - not run.

Honda Generator 1KVa - almost unused(?)

Marples Constant Camber mould - for a inboard/outboard displacement launch and a dinghy and maybe some other boats (look it up on google to see how it works)

Oughtred Feather Pram - building jig only

Some small boat sails

Wooden OK Dinghy mast

7" bronze portholes from a very large vessel - 8 of 'em

If you look at the MGS action add the sale is builders Lien this is when you have the right to sell someones property or hold it until a dedt is paid so who owes who money
