Found a mast from Mac 26 - What's an honest price?

[Signaleer]

Team,

I located a mast from a Mac 26 that the owner is not going to use. Its 1.5 hours from me.

What is an honest offer for it?

Can you fella's help?

Hi ED, Bob again.
Some of the earlier Mac's used the same mast as the 26X. When I got my X it had no mast, boom, rigging etc. So like you I went looking. I found a older Mac in poor condition on a trailer with mast boom sails etc. about 120 miles away from me. I offered $300 for all.
The problem moving a mast is you will have to take the boat to do it and I only had a Camry and the boat was in the mountains. I found a guy close to where the the boat was located who wanted a boat hull to use as a water tank. So I made a deal with him, he would haul the boat and trailer to his place and dump the boat and I could take all I wanted off the boat, mast, boom, sales etc. and then I hauled the trailer with the mast with my Camry back to my place. There was no documentation for the boat or trailer and rather then go through the DMV hassle, I removed the axle and made mine a dual. Scrap trailer $75.
A fair price is how badly the seller wants to get rid of his item. I'd try $200 and work up. If no deal, keep looking. Craig's List is great, that's were I found everything.
Good luck Bob.

Supply and demand is tricky on odd items like masts. 2-400 seems fair...However if the only option is not having one or paying around a grand just to have one shipped a lot wider price range seems "fair". I paid $200, but would not have felt ripped if the seller had wanted more since my next option was $1500+ and would take who knows how long to ship.

I bought and sold one for $300. Got it for a spare but figured I'd never use it so sold it on the board here to a sailor in Texas.

Thanks everyone!

Hello all! I have a 26s on trailer that got a big whole in its hull when it was torn from a mooring ball. I'm willing to part it out or unload the whole thing for reasonable price EM me at this site if you're interested.

The 26M has a different section and is longer than all the other masts. Be sure you get the right one for your boat.

Slug bug where are you located? Any other parts available? Pictures?
