Due to my father aging, my brother passing away and the fact that I already own a V-20 my family finds that it no longer needs the AnaCapri my father bought back in 1968. For those not familiar with AnaCapri it is visually very similar to my 1989 dual console V20, just a little bigger at 22' long and a beam of 8'3". The boat was repowered in 1990 with a 270hp Volvo duo prop along with a pretty major overhaul and only has a few hundred hours on it. The boat has always been kept under roof and has been in a garage for the past 5 or 6 years and looks surprisingly good for its age. There are one or two soft spots in the floor and I was a little concerned about the transom and stringers when we repowered it (we did the work ourselves) but it has held together well and does not seem to have gotten any worse in the past 20 years. The boat has proven itself to very ocean worthy and has been to the Bahamas 4 times, the last time was in 1993 when we went took it to Great Guana Key for 2 weeks but most of the use for the last 15 years has been in fresh water. The engine is equipped with freshwater cooling so it has not suffered from the corrosive effects of salt water the way many boat motors have.
The general layout of the boat is a dual console very similar to the V20 but it has storage compartments up front instead of a cuddy. It has a back to back lounge seat on each side and a cushion on top of the motor compartment that we have used for seating. The boat is located near Huntsville, Alabama.
One of the most interesting features of the rig is the trailer. It is a Murray tilt trailer that was built in Miami and is probably the best engineered and built trailer I have ever seen. It is still in excellent condition and has always handled the boat well. The trailer alone weighs nearly 1200 lbs and in addition to being hot dip galavanized it has never been put in the water deep enough to get the rear axle wet. I know that tilt trailers are out of fashion these days but it has always worked well for us.
I am trying to help my sister-in-law sell the boat and we need some guidance on how to value it and sell it. As you can tell, we don't trade boats often and have never sold one of this type so we could use a little direction.
