A C&C 39 of similar age and similar condition was recently on the market for a long time here in the Seattle area. The price started around $50K then began dropping. The last I heard was it was at $19K OBO. I looked for its listing last week and it has either sold or the listing has been removed.
A broker walking the dock last weekend caught me outside the winter cover (I was covered in tyvek and epoxy dust). We briefly discussed old C&Cs and the fix up or sell equation. He said boats in top shape are selling at a reasonable pace. Project boats seemed to him to be the ones taking more than a year to sell. Wet balsa core issues appear to be a major concern for many buyers. Financing older boats with a long list of issues is also sounded difficult. Selling an older boat with a long project/upgrade list may come down to choosing between selling fast (low $) or looking for just the right buyer (long time). Hopefully your friend's boat is located in an area of North America that has a concentration of C&C owners/interest (NE, Great Lakes, PNW). Pulling a something from the house selling bag of tricks, scrub off the moss, show the boat on a sunny day, bake some cookies down below, and sell the dream not the fiberglass.

I may be optimistic in this market. Sorry. Ken H.

Speaking objectively, I'd say that it's structurally sound but shabby -- old cushions, worn surfaces including some teak veneer loss. It has an A4 engine - reliable but requires coddling. Alcohol stove. Old, largely end-of-useful-life sails. Old instruments (ST-50's) that are failing. Charming keel smile. Topsides obviously painted by an amateur (me) quite a few years ago with a brush/roller and 2-part Perfection. Deck in need of a repaint as it was last done in the early 1990's. If you had to guess, what would this thing sell (not list) for if it were marketed by a broker and had to be moved in 12 months or less? Thanks for any guesses!
