    Any place to sell old wooden crew boats?

    I have some 60 year old crew boats; a 4 and an 8. Both are in mint condition with all original parts.
    Is there a market for these? Where would I go to sell them?

    You might try every private school you can find.

    If the hulls, seats and stretchers are mostly wood, there is a good market for the parts. Plenty of classic rowing wherry builders are looking for outriggers and sliding seats to match their design.
    “Perhaps then, you will say, ‘But where can one have a boat like that built today?’ And I will tell you that there are still some honest men who can sharpen a saw, plane, or adze...men (who) live and work in out of the way places, but that is lucky, for they can acquire materials for one third of city prices. Best, some of these gentlemen’s boatshops are in places where nothing but the occasional honk of a wild goose will distract them from their work.” -- L Francis Herreshoff
