We are custom builders and every boat we build is made to order. But, if you’re not particularly picky, want a boat now without waiting for us to build it for you, or are just looking to save a little money, we occasionally have used boats available for sale. Usually they are consigned by our customers who have decided to upgrade or change to another of our boats, for whatever reason. Our current inventory of available boats is shown below; to get an idea of the sort of used boats we’ve had in the past, check out the “Available Now” category of our blog.
Available Now: 12′ Point Defiance Sailboat
AVAILABLE NOW, AGAIN! We previously listed this boat in March and accepted a deposit early April. Unfortunately the buyer failed to complete the purchase so we are re listing it. We know there are a lot of people out there looking for a nice ‘pre – owned’ Point Defiance, so be the first to take advantage of this unusual opportunity.
This is the nicest Point Defiance to come in on consignment in quite a while; It is very nicely equipped, recent vintage (2009) and has been stored indoors when not in use. The consignor is downsizing away from the waterfront so asked us to help him find a new home for his boat.
It is equipped with a complete sail rig including mainsail and jib, 8’ spoon blade oars, kick up rudder, stainless steel keel guard, blue / white gelcoat and even has our exclusive rudder mounted electric propulsion with deep cycle battery.
New replacement price for a sistership would be over $8,000. Spring is here so this is the perfect time to get on the water now at a discount. The listing price for the boat as described is $4995. The trailer is also available for another $500.
Available Now: 12′ Eddon Gig
Here is a very nice 12’ Whitehall known as the Eddon Gig. These are well known local craft built by a now defunct Gig Harbor boat building company called the Eddon Boatshop. The Eddon Company was the premier boatshop in the South Puget Sound between the late 40’s to the mid 80’s. Their primary fame came from designing and building the famous 26’ thunderbird sailboat although they also built and repaired numerous yachts up to 50’ in length.
Their mold for their Eddon Gig was reputedly taken from an original wooden Whitehall boat from Saltspring Island, B.C. Canada. It is a very fast design developed for interisland commuting during the early 1900’s. This example has a handlaid fiberglass hull with real teak gunwale trim, rowing seat, and is ready to row and sail. Included is a pair of handmade Spruce spoon blade oars, tapered Spruce mast and boom, painted plywood rudder and daggerboard plus Dacron sail in very good condition. It has been stored indoors since new and was brought to us by the family of the original owner for resale. A new owner could spend a few hours polishing and oiling the Teak to make it ‘pop’ like new. All this for only $2995!
