Friends! Today we have a Maxi 77 with an updated 17 h.p. Soledieselmotor Mini inboard motor for only 4400 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.7 meters
Width: 2.5 meters
Draft: 1.45 meters
Berths: 5
Toilet: available
Kitchen (galley): available

Maxi 77 is a family boat for easy cruises. A lot of updates were made on this boat in 1999, one might say, they made major repairs.

Wood and plastic look good as you can see in the photo.

They installed a new engine, repainted the hull and installed a new stainless steel fuel tank.

The boat also has updated sails, a jib furler, a lazy jack (2014), a spinnaker with a convenient assembling and stocking system.

There’s an echo sounder, a navigator, a bow platform, mooring equipment and other things that are not mentioned in the ad.

The boat has a fin keel so you should check the condition of the keel bolts. It’s important to clarify when they were replaced. If the replacement was made in 1999 then they will probably need to be replaced. The service life of the keel bolts is about 20 years.

Everything else looks very fresh and good. The Maxi 77 sailboats are usually equipped with outboard motors. The models with updated inboard motors are very rare especially in such good condition.

Friends! Today we have a Hallberg Rassy misil 2 in very good condition with an outboard motor for only 1860 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.35 meters
Width: 2.3 meters
Draft: 1.2 meters
Berths: 4
Cabin height: 1.5 meters
Toilet: available (portable)
Kitchen (galley): available

Nothing is said about the engine but it is mentioned. The boat looks very nice from the outside, the bottom has been recently painted. The wood inside also looks good. You’ll need to work on an upholstery but it can be removed and painted with moisture-proof paint.

The mainsail cover and spray hood look fresh. The outside of the boat looks very well-tended. Perhaps the boat was repainted and a new gelcoat was made.

There is a complete set of sails but unfortunately no jib furler. Nothing is said about the condition of the sails either.

It’s a small boat but it is perfect for starting in sailing and it is also a boat of the legendary Hallberg Rassy brand which is also a big plus.

All this for 1860 euros, in my opinion, this is a great offer.

Guys! Today we have Hurley 22 with an outboard Suzuki 4-stroke motor (15 hp) for 1600 euro only!

Location : Norway

Length: 6.71 meters
Width: 2.26 meters
Draft: 1.14 meters
Berths: 4
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

First of all, this boat has a chamber for an outboard engine so it can work just like an inboard one!

What is more, power control knob is made (inboard engines have the same, it’s very comfortable).

Plastic and wood look good. A huge King size bed is organized but it’s possible to change it for 4 person berth. On the other hand I believe this sailboat is most suitable for 2 people.

A full set of sails, a jib furler, a navigator, some life-saving equipment, mooring equipment, etc.

In my opinion this is a very cool offer for 1-2 people, the engine itself costs 1600 euro, so the yacht basically goes as a gift 🙂

The boat is very well maintained and a lot has been updated. A new gelcoat, a new set of sails. It is written that everything inside was sanded and updated, new cushions were made, etc. Unfortunately there’s no photos where we can see the boat from the inside.

New electrical wiring was made, all hoses and kingstons were replaced.

If you need the link to the ad – write me a direct message and I’ll provide you with it.

In my opinion, it is a very interesting offer. The boat is small but very well-maintained. We will draw a similar boat in autumn.

Friends, today we have a Birdie 24 with an inboard Volvo Penta mb2s motor for 3900 euro!

Location: Sweden

Length: 7.4 meters
Width: 2.4 meters
Draft: 1.2 meters
Keel: finned
Sleeping places: 4
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The inboard engine Volvo Penta mb2s is original. Nothing is said about it. Probably it works fine.

There’s a full set of sails: mainsail, genoa with furler. All the ropes go to the cockpit. There’s UV protection for genoa, a cover on the mainsail, a sprayhood. Everything looks very good.

Other equipment includes a Garmin GPS with maps and an echo sounder, a compass, a solar panel, a heater, a spirit stove, an additional refrigerator, a charger, a holding tank and most likely there’s something else that wasn’t specified.

I really like the appearance. There’s a bow platform covered with teak as well as stern platform, a ladder for getting out of the water and new pillows. Net is stretched along the railing. Everything also looks fresh inside. Wood and plastic are in excellent condition.

In my opinion, this is a good option. There’s already everything for traveling, the engine is inboard, wiring into the cockpit, appearance is good, platforms from the bow and stern will also add much comfort.

Friends, today we have a Jocker S30 with an inboard Volvo Penta MD7A motor for 3000 euro!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 9.24 meters
Width: 2.96 meters
Draft: 1.65 meters
Keel: finned
Sleeping places: 5
Height in the cabin: 1.85 meters
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

The engine Volvo Penta MD7A is from 1976, it works properly. A new starter battery was installed.

The set of sails is quite large: a mainsail, a genoa with a furler, storm sails and a spinnaker.

There’s a spirit stove, refrigerator, the carpet was replaced inside. The boat looks neat.

There’s also a steering wheel installed in the cockpit just for those who wanted a sailboat with a steering wheel.

The boat looks fresh. The sides and the underwater part are painted. Before Arvika Plastic Ind. closed they handed over the project of this sailboat to the Albin Marine shipyard and after a little refinement they began to produce the Albin Ballad. It happened in 1972 and this yacht was built in 1971, we can say, it is one of the last Jokers.

In my opinion, this is an excellent offer. 30 feet with a good appearance and an inboard engine in the working order (although it’s not new) is sold for only 3000 euro. Previously the price was 5000 euro.

Hey, friends, today we have a Bavaria 770 with a 6 h.p. Mercury outboard motor for 4800 euro!

Location: Norway

Hull length: 7.7 meters
Width: 2.64 meters
Draft: 1.30 meters
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 5
Kitchen (galley): available
Toilet: available

There’s a 4-stroke outboard Mercury motor 6 h.p. with long leg. The old inboard engine has been dismantled which is an advantage (no extra load).

The sailboat has been owned by one owner for 4 years. During this time he put a lot of things in order. You can check it on the photos.

The set includes 4 sails, a mainsail cover (looks good) and a classic staysail.

There’re 2 solar panels 30 Wt each, a Raymarine Dragonfly 5 navigator, an autopilot, a refrigerator, a gas stove and all lighting is LED.

The boat has teak covering, new pillows are sewn. There’s a fresh varnish on wood. It can be seen that a lot of effort was spent on the boat’s appearance. The seller says that the hull was damaged when he bought the boat, possibly due to the fact that it ran aground but everything was fixed and repaired.

In my opinion, this is an interesting Bavaria, boats from this period made the name Bavaria famous. Everything is done properly on it. There’s even a separate toilet, despite the fact that the boat is only 26 feet. The mooring fee for such a boat will be very low, so you can travel on it without worrying about the prices in the marinas.
