Wide Ride for sale

Too many boats, too little time, going to thin the herd a bit. Wide Ride C-1 for sale, Red deck, blue seam, natural hull. Don't know who built it, don't know what layup, but it's a heavy SOB. Must be some kind of kevlar expedition layup. Boat is in overall very good shape, there's a patch across the stern deck, and a small one in the hull. I have pics to email.

This is a super cruiser and a good playboat, turns pretty nice, has a flat deck for enders. Hate to see it go, but since i got O L D i have decided that my cruising will be in open boat.

Price is $450 firm. Boat is in Pittsburgh PA. I'll meet any buyer at the Yough, and may be able to arrange transport to DC in June (have a friend picking up a new boat from Davey and Jennifer sometime in that month).

Heavy ?!? That sure does not apply to my Wide Ride, which weighs in the upper 20s. So, my Zealot weighs 22 and the Wide Ride weighs 28. Seems reasonable for much more volume.

Ah, but with a composite boat, is weight not a function of layup?

Millbrook really uses just one basic layup, and a Wide Ride should come out about 28 pounds befory you put in any bags, etc. It is conceivable that someone asked for an extra layer of S-glass, but that shouldn't take the weight over, say, 33 pounds. How heavy is the boat?

If that's Jamie McEwan's old boat it's an extra heavy duty lay-up.

Well, Kaz, don't know about Jamie being a previous owner. Kinda thought you would have built it but I honestly don't know that either. It has seams running the length of the deck and keel, and they used to be black. Cockpit is squared off in the front. Sound familiar?

It's a great boat, but it's just not going to see much use with me anymore. I'd rather it go somewhere and get paddled.

OK, last chance, I'll cut the price to $350.

This boat weighs every bit of 38 pounds. Maybe that will help clarify things. Pics are available for email.

I can deliver to most of the Penn Cup races this fall or will meet anyone at the Yough.
