Beneteau First 235 Forums

Ed Mika

A friend and his wife really like mine and they now want one too. They are willing to pay reasonably well for a clean boat and want to buy real soon.

235 fin listed on ebay in va.

JDF · Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 10:52 am Post subject: nice boat

Ed, I encourage your friends to check this boat out. Steve has had it up for sale for over a year.
Here is his original listing
http://beneteau235.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26972&highlight=#26972

You can see that the equipment list and list of renovations is great.
Quite a drop from $12,000 to the $7500 start on ebay.

Sadly the boat was less "plug and play" than it was described. I just got word that my trailer is heading back up empty. My friend has a few other good candidate boats he is considering but will likely have a survey done the next time he is thinking about spending a solid day driving for a pick up.

in short, there was this Idea to get a bunch of sailors together that own F235's (more fun than anything else) So I came up with this Idea of the LOCCR(Lake Ontario Challenge Cup Regatta) with the numbers of 235 increasing on Lake Ontario I thought it would be good to have another event The First 235 North Americans. Thinking and hoping that we could split these events up & meet more than once a year. Well Frodo & I are the only ones who ever stepped up to the plate to host either event, then I had the idea that maybe if I sent the NA Cup down to LeVeL's at Youngstown it would encourage my Canadian Brothers & Sisters to partake. I think two are defiantly going to make it from the TO area, that plus Scott & I =4 we need 5 for our own start(which is huge) It really isn't anything to be intimidated by it's more about hanging out with other 235 owners(and watching Dave & Jon get drunk........heh) I hope you reconsider, I know you would have no regrets.

Hi,

There's a 235 in Atlanta at Snug Harbor. It's $11,900

http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/pl_boat_detail.jsp?&units=Feet&id=2032469&lang=en&slim=broker&&hosturl=snugharborboats&&ywo=snugharborboats&

There might be another one here. The guy was asking $12,000 with a trailer this winter. He wasn't in a hurry to sell it and only had it posted on Craiglist at the time. I can look up his info to see if it's still available. Good luck, John.

Ed, If you are still looking, I have #76, fin keel, "Pi", for sale (see boat pic on front page of this website).

My wife and i are in the process of moving to NC for a while (family emergency, so to speak). I am anxious to sell. The boat has lots of perormance oriented goodies, and i have most of the original equipment to go with her as well. Entertaining all offers right now. This is a greatopportunity for someone to pick up "the fastest F235 one the water" for a real good price.

Ed,

Have yer buddy make an offer on Pi. She has been extensively race equipped. Unless he one of those sissy comfort sailors (like me...heh).

Seriously though, if you're looking for a raceboat (although your PHRF may take a hit from the mods) she is worth a long look.

Sadly for the Canadian 235 fleet my friend instead bought a Mirage 29 (for over 40 grand). Its actually surprisingly big and really nice.
