I've created this thread as a repository for Ariels for sale. I'm posting this because I've contacted a number of people sell Ariels for information and I think it makes sense to share this information with others who are also in the market. If any one wants to add a Ariel I've missed please do so.
First, there's one in Morro Bay California, which has been listed for sale on this forum: http://www.pearsonariel.org/discussi...A-239-for-sale.
Secondaly, there is one in Eastern New York State listed for $3000, No further information : http://syracuse.craigslist.org/bod/4206674385.html
There's also one in Gilford Connecticut for $1000 that I assume is a fixer upper. That's been listed on craigslist with little information and no contact information. If any one knows who this, they might want to include a contact email, kinda goes without saying.
There's also a nice Ariel in Hawaii for $7500. Seems kinda high but it's in good condition. Does the price go up for Ariels over seas? http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/boa/4236637910.html
Lastly, there's one in Washington, North Carolina for $2200 ; http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1963...s#.Ur3eS7VDsyY . There is a forum member here who's posted information about that boat. I've emailed him and he's given me the following info.
The hull is sound. The deck core appears to be in pretty good shape
with exception of a couple of soft spots on the starboard and port
decking beside the cabin (you can see from inside the cabin where an
attempt at repair has been made. The standing rigging and mast and
boom look good the last time I saw it.
My main two concerns would be 1.) the bearing and seal for the rudder
and 2.) the seacocks are frozen (halfway open I think) and this was
what I was going to attempt first.
