Please note: this boat is a project boat. The interior is somewhat completed, but still needs some work done. Read through my restoration process and the work that has been completed. Must sell ASAP. Has to be gone by 2/15. The price I've set is WAY lower than the value, and I need to close soon. However, no need to contact with unreasonably low offers.
I bought this 1975 Westsail 32 and have spent the last two years completely restoring it on dry land for over a year, then in the water. It is now absolutely stunning. It has been a complete labor of love for me, and I have spent in excess of $50k in the project. The boat is basically in brand-new condition on the exterior, but the interior still needs a small amount of work. I replaced the old diesel with a brand new Beta 38 marine diesel, new tanks, new everything in the engine compartment; new exterior running and standing rigging; new Awlgrip paint on the topsides and deck; new Pettit on the hull; custom-made tiller/cheeks, boomkin, bowsprit, hatches, and exterior trim; refurbished caprails; restored/repainted mast; all new wiring in majority of boat; all new Raymarine e7D multifunction display, radar, and depth-finder; Blue Sea electrical system; new Spartan seacocks and thru-hulls; all sails except the main are brand new; etc.
This list is no where near complete, but here is an example of some of the equipment upgrades that I've put into the boat, and what it has cost me.
All parts and upgrades brand new as of 2012 and 2013
Engine Comparment:
2012: Beta 38 Marine Diesel -- $11,500. Currently has 60 hours on it. All maintenance performed on scheduled intervals.
Prop shaft, log, stuffing box, mounts, custom exhaust, muffler, etc. -- $3,300
Two type 31 wet cell batteries and boxes -- $280
Aluminum fuel tanks with site gauges - $1,050
Groco water strainer and Rayco fuel filter - $220
Rigging:
All new 7/16" running rigging/shackles - $500
All new 9/32" standing rigging, wires, toggles, forks, etc. - $2,400
Electronics/Interior:
Raymarine e7D multi-function display, navigation, radar, external GPS, transducer - $2,700
Standard Horizon handheld VHF and stationary Uniden VHF-- $315
Re-wired much of boat, batteries, terminals, fuses, switches - $1,500
LED interior dome lights - $290
Radio with Bluetooth/USB/speakers - $180
New portlight glass and gaskets - $400
Hull/Exterior:
Awlgrip paint for topsides and deck - $2,200
7 Spartan seacocks (tapered valve) and 7 thru-hulls - $1,950
Pettit 4700/4701 bottom primer, Trinidad bottom paint - $1,020
3 Bronze rudder pintles - $1,070
Custom mahogany boomkin, bowsprit, grab rails, tiller - $1,000
Mast complete restoration/paint by Lefeil (manufacturer) - $2,500
The above totals come out to $34,075, but I easily have over $50k into the boat when counting the miscellaneous "little" items that add up quickly, but not counting the cost I paid for it initially. This also doesn't take into consideration the cost of my labor, which I've sadly valued at $0, despite doing all of the work entirely myself (with the exception of the engine installation).
The boat is my most valued possession, and I can't imagine parting with it. Due to life circumstances, it appears that I have to. Asking $40,000. Make me an offer.
