[quote=jsoder12]Hi all, noob here wanting to get into cat sailing. Been doing a lot of research and really like the Hobie 18 or Nacra 5.8. My friend inherited a 1982 5.8 from a relative. I just got done looking at the boat. He doesn't have the money for what's needed and is proposing that I put up the dough and we'll share ownership 50/50.
The hull has two holes in the bottom which he is self-repairing (he has some experience with fiberglass but I don't completly trust so will surely need a pro to look at and possibly fix), it is missing the jib, all the rope lines are decayed, the tramp needs to be replaced, dagger boards are missing, and trailer needs some minor work. Otherwise, we put up the mast and all else seems fine. Oh, and has a white dacron? sail that seems to be in okay shape. Based on some prelim pricing, the dagger boards, jib, and tramp could exceed the value of the hulls/mast/misc....
I would like to make him an offer to buy the boat. Does anyone have an idea of what is fair here?
Thanks in advance.
