I sense from my time on the group, that marketing in the group is inappropriate. I am just looking for advice on where to list on the internet (free listings only), advice on determining asking price and whether or not you would recommend a survey or if I should let prospective buyers worry about that, Any internet resources/links would be greatly appreciated. At this point, I am just considering a sale, in that I don't seem to be getting enough use out of it to justify the costs. Also, I figured it would take a couple of years to sell anyway, so better to start early. I can be contacted off-group at stacklynj@embarqmai l.com as needed.

Thank you Don. Actually I need to check those tensions on mine.

It is extremely important that these tie rods be adjusted so that the deck is flat with the rig under tension. It is also designed to have a relatively loose stay system. There should be slop in your leeward stays when sailing to weather.

I haven't been worrying much about that beam. I guess at some point I should investigate. If I find rust and the beam is still mostly good I think I will first try treating any rust with rust converter, then encapsulator and then paint it, if I can gain access enough to do that. I used a lot of the eastwood.com products in restoring some old vehicles and they sell all sorts of products to battle and contain rust.

David, I had a new 1982 Cal 31 and it did not a have a beam. Looking forward in the bilge, you could see a square wooden post that extended from the underside of the floor pan and located under the compression post. This square post extended to a couple inches from the top of the ballast and stopped. At the time, I looked at a couple other Cal 31's and they were the same. So the mast compression was supported by the deck, compression post and fiberglass floor pan. Tim Odom In a message dated 6/29/2016 2:45:11 P.M.

Transmission needs rebuild, ******** We used to sell rebuilt Volvo MS transmissions for $2495, until the parts became very hard to find. but curious as to what the value of the working Volvo Penta MD7A might be. ********** Not much, as these engines are now quite old, and all are raw water cooled. Here's how they usually die - the block or head rots out, allowing raw water to mix with the oil. The engine then seizes, and is a total write off. VERY POOR candidate for rebuilding. Joe DeMers Thanks.
