I purchased a 1963 Atom Skier in 2017 with the intention of restoration. I moved to a retirement home three years ago and can no longer do the restoration work. All of the parts have been removed. Would it be best to sell the parts individually or sell the hull and the parts all together? ------------- Don Newton |

Hard to say Don. IF the boat is complete, as in all original hardware and all those little pieces, then the boat is likely worth more to someone that wants to restore it. Absent that, the individual pieces are likely only of value to someone restoring the same. Hard to say how many Atoms are out there in the restoration process. Ultra

Don, If you have a complete boat but some assembly required then you're better off selling the boat as a whole. Sounds like the perfect Father Son project  for Storm34 as he's a local yocal and keeps a fleet of CC's in Adel. Hopefully he'll see this post and chime in.------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

I am sure I can make him an offer he can't refuse. Let's hope he sees the post. Thank you for your help. ------------- Don Newton |

The condition of the wood will make a big difference was to which way too go. If the rot is not too bad then keep it whole. If the frame is rotten than you might want to part it out.

I certainly don't need another boat at the moment but at the end of the day, I have a huge soft spot for anything with a Correct Craft badge on it's hull sides. If nothing else, I may be able to store & pass it along to a good home in the future. I'll shoot you a message on the site so we can chat. |
