Yep, that'll work!
I towed a small plane once from Opa Laka up to Titusville years ago. Had to load the plane tail first as nose first just didn't work... Didn't take long to figure out the tongue-weight issue. Did what we could with some tool boxes and straps... But anything over 40mph was a fishtail. Long ride back to home base for sure... |

I have my doubts that a San Juan would fit on anything but a trailer meant for a v-hull. The BFN/SW/Freeport always used a different trailer than the Ski Nautiques in the 70's and 80's, which kept the strakes off the bunks and the hull hardware off the cross members. Even the 1st gen Sport with its semi-vee hull used a specific trailer with raised bunks.

Good point, I wasn't really thinking about depth of the V, and therefore depth of the shaft/strut/prop. Until he gets back to someone we also don't know if it's on blocks and if so what that looks like. Will have to be jacked and blocked and the trailer backed under I assume.

Hey folks, here's the deal on the free San Juan in Boston:
The owner has had the boat for a while. It has been a moored boat in the Boston Harbor area. The owner indicated the pictures do represent its current condition and that the interior is still in "good shape" The issue with the engine not running occurred two weeks ago... While motoring back into the harbor, the boat lost oil pressure and then shortly after the engine died. Shortly there after he indicated the bilge turned on and pumped out oil. Lifting the motor box showed bilge full of oil. Boat scheduled to be lifted off water on 13th and scrapped at a cost of a grand to the owner. He's got other stuff going on, can't really afford the scrap charge, and does not have time for it. Sounds like a hole in the pan or case. I'd still go grab the boat, but thinking out the logistics for me...getting new tires on trailer, getting it home and stored and on blocks so I can pull my existing boat for the winter....I just can't make it happen that quick, so ill pass. The guy seems up front on the phone. For those that can put it together and wish to call him, his number is 617-293-4032 Report back! |

That's Jake's (Silver15) boat. He is a member here, and I have seen the boat, runs good. |

In both cases Jonathan, it's difficult to say. I suppose if it were a running boat with an appropriate roar-worthy trailer it's worh maybe a 3 grand or so and most of that value in the trailer.
The boat as-is right now is worth what it can be parted out for. And if its all original so that other San Juan owners could use the parts, you'll get more. Right now, it's a crap-shoot. Motor likely has catastrophic damage. But, it's got a tranny, running gear, etc, which has some value. And a closer look at the pics show all the correct hardware and so fourth. No platform, but a Bimini. Clean interior that appears in good shape, but not period-correct. Now, keep in mind that it has been a moored boat in salt water, which is scary on its own....and you'll have the cost of a two thousand mile round trip to get it.... |

Anyone know or did I miss what engine it has? Just curious.
It sure must be a big boat not even sure a trailer like this one,even if road worthy would handle it |

Trailer appears long enough, and with those vertical 2 x 10 bunks, the boat may sit high enough for the running gear to clear. You would need someone on here to give you the measurements from their San Juan.

Looks like some nice updates to the Southwind. I'd be interested if an OB. Are those Farina gauges?
This is the second or third time the Mustang has popped up on CL and for the same money (too much). However, if anyone is interested in that boat, it's literally right down the street from my in-laws and I'll be out there in early Dec if anyone would like me to have a look at it. Good price on the Mustang in Erie.... Ultra |

Ahhh, gotcha. Well no, not right now I'm not. Right now I am in Greensboro NC, as I moved to NC from Cape Cod last June. However, yes, I did go to Stage Harbor Marine on Bridge Street last February when I went to check the boat out, but specifically, the boat was in an off-site warehouse where Stage Harbor stores boats. Why do you ask?

My in-laws live just up the hill from Stage Harbor nn Bridge, so I'm out there quite a bit and thought you might be right down the street, and hence someone to help me with a ski-fix when I'm in Chatham

Nope Sorry, can't help you now. Were I still out there, I would have been happy to. I lived in Sandwich, so a little bit of a poke from Chatham, but hey, when you need a fix, you need a fix. Another guy on the site ("dip") came to the Cape from PA on business on occassion, and we got out a couple times. Beautiful country but I traded that for better weather.
