Wanted to purchase a Pahi 42 to 50 footer, or Tiki of similar size - Wharram Builders and Friends2024-03-28T19:04:58Zhttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/forum/topics/wanted-to-purchase-a-pahi-42?commentId=2195841%3AComment%3A14383&feed=yes&xn_auth=noLooks like i am still on the…tag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2010-07-13:2195841:Comment:160552010-07-13T14:51:28.000Zclif highhttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/clifhigh
Looks like i am still on the cat hunt. I am contacting a local builder to get some cost estimates, but really would prefer to purchase an existing boat. Any wharrams 38 or larger will be considered. Had a tentative purchase negotiated with a nice fellow, but we both sobered up, and realized the difficulties involved in that particular transaction....so now back to the seeking again....<br />

thanks for any help you may be able to provide. In the mean time i am out on puget sound with a crab claw (self sewn) on my umiak (24 foot cloth -skin on frame boat) converted to a tri (as a more stable video platform). Thanks for the previous efforts to all who replied. Now to see what universe can provide. I am located in the puget sound (WA state of USofA...pacific northwest) and under some real restrictions due to being a care provider to relatives. This means i cannot jet off to examine boats. But can prove good intent with at least one current cat owner who knows i do not bullshit and am willing to commit reasonable moneys to the effort.<br />
Oh well, was looking for a cat when that deal came along, now that it is off, just back to the starting point.<br />

Have apparently found a wharram cat. To be continued.....now in meantime am converting my umiak to a tri with a crab claw sail to have a go at that form.

OK, it was Landstar Ranger, but the agent is beyond me. She was a lady former lawyer and I think I got it from Soundings mag, but it's not there anymore. Also searching online didn't ring a bell. I will of course post it if I come across it.

Thanks for the information. I have been building boats for decades and have a sharpie near completion now, so evaluation of workmanship and materials quality is not really an issue. More problems arise from universe thinking i can do the work of 3 humans....<br />
<br />
anyway, have had some experience in scoping this out now with one attempt at a purchase, so now must await universe's response and next set of work demands.<br />

Our Tiki 46 was moved from the build site to the marina in 2002. I do not remember the cost but it involved crain hire for the day to load the boat at the build site, three low bed trucks, and the marina crain at the other end. You could look up the costs where you live for this.<br />
<br />
Moving a partial build might be done using a borrowed or rented large truck with trailer hitch and a borrowed or rented boat trailer and making two trips to move two hulls. Bits and pieces of crossbeams, pod, foreward…

Moving a partial build might be done using a borrowed or rented large truck with trailer hitch and a borrowed or rented boat trailer and making two trips to move two hulls. Bits and pieces of crossbeams, pod, foreward mast case etc could maybe be moved using a rented truck like a moving type van from maybe U Haul. It all depends on your situation. We used a professional boat moving company and it was expensive, but they really knew what they were doing and did it well. One thing that was important was their knowledge of where low hanging branches and power lines and hump back bridges etc out in our remote countryside location made it impossible for our hulls to pass. They knew the safe way to travel and detoured as needed. Once on the motorway, we were fine. In our situation we could not risk dropping a hull at that stage. Nor could we risk injury. But if you get a good enough boat already built or unfinished project, and perhaps not too expensive a purchase price, the moving expenses might be ok for you.<br />
<br />
An uncompleted project is usually not worth much but if the work was done properly, and if it has not been deteriorating in sun and weather, it might be a great saving to you in time and material. Then the moving expense would make lots of sense. Often uncompleted projects need to be moved when it is clear they will never be finished. Divorce, illness, finances, loss of interest, etc all are problems some folks are unable to overcome. After building something, but having to give up, the builder just hates to saw and burn their own work. They would rather sell low and hope to someday learn their dream had at least come true somehow and somewhere for somebody.<br />
<br />
Obviouslly it is important for anybody intending to buy plans, to sit themselves down and have an honest heart to heart talk with themselves about how much self discipline and determination is really there to finish the project. With the larger boats, this is really important. Having built our boat ourselves, we know how many difficulties arise. Anyone selling an unfinished project or their own home built boat at the end of the sailing years, deserves some kindness and consideration at the bare minimum. We were offered 250k for our boat on more than one occasion. I have no idea if this is a reasonable price or not. WE are still able to sail so are not interested in selling.<br />
<br />
In today's economy, boat prices are often driven down by distress. there are some bargains out there, but you need to be careful not to buy poor workmanship. You might do yourself a favor by building a very small Wharram first off so you will train yourself as to what to look for in another person's work. You will learn if you are capable of building a larger boat or not.<br />
