Heard you sold 342..... Ski boat finally won?

Sorry to see you potentially sell but I just sent a very interested party (Andrew) your info. He is 45 min from your location and you'll likely hear from him shortly.

Great the site/forum was of ...

It's sad, indeed. You had a rare treat to have your old boat stay so close with a sale that still allowed access and contact on the water. Hopefully, you got to get out on it some more before the si ...

Did you ever sell Drambouie? Noticed the ad is gone.

If you want a 285, that sure is a sweet one....

Really sorry to see you selling, Dave. Man, know how much time and effort you put into this beast. Too bad you can't keep for work break. Whoever DOES get this sample will surely inherit a nice Firs ...

Nice option....

There are a number of options. You should post a photo of the trailer/boat at the least for some ideas.

You could drive your boat to a travel lift in the area pretty easily. If not a travel lift, ...

Dan's in now.

Saw this ad expired. Did she ever sell?

Yeah, This is the most extensive dodger weather protection arrangement I've seen in ANY First 235.
Thomas, hope you stick around and let us know. your next boat.

Hull # EU375 is actually the boa ...

Sorry to see you go but hope you keep in touch and let us know your next purchase....
This is a GREAT First 235!

Although not mentioned, Les Beez Neez in an earlier time is the subject of two of ...

Posting Hull 213 for Eric. Ready to go to new owner. Pictures coming.

Eric writes, "We enjoyed the boat for 2 seasons, sailing locally around Sag Harbor, Long Island (NY)

You know, the Wing keel gets a bum rap but I believe it can hold its own in a lot of conditions, perhaps even bettering the fin in certain instances.

A lot of deals coming up....

Saw ole Hugh go by behind the island heading out on his last sail in his First 235 before it moves far North. Hope you still hang around to watch the new owner continue the trek with New Attitude. ...

Wow Hugh, REALLY surprised to see this as you were one of the diehards going out often down here, taking up the mantle when ole Abstrait had to hit the stands. I cant count how many times I saw you ...

I echo Clay's welcome and hope you join the fray here. Nothing more exciting than getting your new F235 finally out on the water that first time.

Clay, you wont believe this, but we used to have ...

From afar, one of the all-time best deals since I got MINE for the best deal to date. This is a steal even if just an average First 235.

well the twin rudders and keel are pretty cool, but what's really H O T is the flip up table in the galley. I have just added that to my must-do list. it's a great idea for us lover's of creature co ...

I've sailed on and around a modified C&C 30 Mk I for a number of years, seeing it from every angle, inside
and out, behind the wheel and sails. GREAT BOATS that really do well in heavier conditi ...

Welcome to the forums, Dennis.

So are you saying you are going to put this First 285 up for sale?

Really always found the First 24 far less compelling an option then the later First 235, from hull design to interior layout/construction. That being said, they seem to be less expensive on average f ...
