Ready for Boat Life? Michigan Yachts for $15K or Under!
Whether you want to arrive in style to a social gathering or a fine affair like the Catalina Wine Mixer, you're gonna need a bigger boat. You. Need. A. YACHT!!!!!
Boats are a ton of work: bailing, covering, waxing, scrapping, swabbing, and hoisting main sails. Plus yachts have a lot of upkeep and you may need to hire a crew, a chef, and a bartender. There can be only one bartender on a boat however, and that man is:
Let's take a look at some of the most affordable fresh water yachts for sale in the Mitten State that cost less than $15,000. You'll need all the extra money you can get to hire a full time staff so you can start living the boat life:
1983 Sea Ray 270 Sundancer
Take a look at that beauty. 27 feet of pure lady powered by a 1983 Mercruiser inboard / outboard motor with just 315 hours on it and offered up by Pro Yachts on BoatTrader.com.
This baby has plenty of room for coolers and two fold down chairs so your friends can tell you how to drive your boat.
This shot nearly sells the boat on its own! Take your friends to the middle of the lake and tell them to walk the plank.
Bench seating for the captain and their first mate. Come to think of it this looks like a booth at a Big Boy.
The plastic covering tells me that somewhere there is also a perfectly preserved couch from 1983 at this sellers home.
A fine kitchenette. The towels and Detroit Tigers sticker are both extra but the chip clip comes with the ship.
Doesn't this cabin look inviting?
The Master for the Captain.
This yacht is perfect if you have the patience and skill to bring it back to it's full glory. It would also make a good apartment, as it's more spacious than my first place.
This fine vessel could be yours for just:
1986 Chris-Craft 281 Catalina
She may cost slightly more than the Sundancer, but the Chris-Craft comes with an extra 2 feet, for a total of 29, and not one but two Mercruiser inboard motors with 500 hours on them.
Wow! Considering this boat is just a year or two shy of being 40, someone took care of this boat! Hopefully not Dexter like clean boat with bleach and rags. Just a clean boat.
This is where you will captain your new boat! But just how much is it? It really is under 15K.
Someone loved this boat. LOOK AT THAT!
Champagne room? More like champagne bench. But a nice bench for a YACHT UNDER 15K! Somebody loved this boat.
Many meals were made with love in this galley. Someone. Loved. This. Boat.
SOMEONE LOVED IN THIS BOAT!
So how much would you pay for this Love Boat like yacht getaway?
Love someone or something as much as someone loved this boat for just 14K!
1978 Chris-Craft Catalina 350
This is a big boat. This baby is 35 feet long and propelled by two 1978 Marine Power inboard engines.
Not a bad seat in the house in the upper deck, plus room for everyone to tell you how to drive.
Oh captain my captain's chair.
A panoramic view and it's bug free!
The first look into the living quarters shows there's a little love needed, but look at all the room for activities!!!
That is a full size fridge so there is a ton of room. For activities.
Suck it in, it's time to hit the head.
The master bedroom, complete with an oddly placed mirror.
Would this be the Acapulco Lounge????
A lot of room for not a lot of cash! This boat could be yours for just:
Just 15K and it's all yours!!!!!
Regardless of whether you have a dingy or yacht, getting out on the water is a part of a Pure Michigan summer. Just make sure there is a cooler and enough lifejackets.
