I am in Sarasota right now with my free boat. I paid $900 but that included docking for over a year(value $1400). After purchasing the boat I was sailing in two weeks. I have added. New used sail(sail that was stored and never used)$100. Outboard 10hp $200 + $80 parts, rigging $200, trailer $500 + new tires $220, Magma BBQ $100, bottom paint $250, battery $70, solar panels $80, electric trolling backup $125. I have spend hours and hours sailing. My children are learning to sail and enjoy the outdoors. I have a place to stay and sleep when I go to Florida if I don't want to stay with inlaws. My main expenses have been for docking and trailer storage in various locations. I would never have been able to rent a boat to do all the things I have done in the short time that I have been sailing this boat. All I need now is to finish my dodger and be more comfortable when sleeping in wet conditions.
I got a free Compac 16 from a rich guy who knocked a hole in the keel. I reglassed the keel. Added a bit of gel coat and it was perfect. It came with a trailer. It was a nice boat. Had to sell for money for old fish wife.
If you have a free trailer sailboat let me know. If it is in anything close to good shape it is worth it to me.
