Telstar 28 For Sale

[Ron]

The boat is on Ebay (link below). It's in central NJ. I'm pretty sure I saw the boat a few months ago when I was looking at marina's on the Jersey shore. Based on the description, it should be # 327. No bids yet, start price is $50,000 and the reserve was not met yet.

Does anyone know this boat?

[Ron]

I've seen it on the trailer. It looks like it's in pretty good shape. The hull number is 327. I don't think it was launched this year. The boat was at a marina in Forked River (on the trailer) and I was thinking about renting the slip he had used for the last 2 years or so, but wound up finding a better one closer to me.

There's two of them on Ebay now -

This one is prototype #4 (hull 304?) and it's in Reno. Listing mentions a number of cracks in the gel coat. It could be the "lightweight", but I'm not sure. I know that one went to Nevada. Only problem is that it starts at $25,000, which is a lot more than the guy paid PC for it. I'm pretty sure he paid well under $10,000. Graham would know.

This is a project boat. Has some fire damage in back. Don't bother to look at it if you don't like working with fiberglass. Current price is about $4,000 and it may not go much higher. May have been on ebay once before - I remember seeing it or one like it. This one was registered in Maryland at one time.

I wonder what the Hull number is? I bet the propane bottle shorted the 12 volt terminal for the Honda.

If its the same burnt Maryland boat that was on ebay back in May, Will had said it was hull 358. A vagrant had broken into the boat and somehow set it on fire. But this one seems to have 356 in the HIN. The HIN's format is wrong anyway, so who knows?
