I have a chance to buy a Model 192 Oday that is in fair to poor condition. It has been sitting in a field for about six years. Do you have any idea on what the price of this boat would be?

Ask him for $100 to clean out the field? After being unused for six years in open weather that is a lot of work to restore any boat. It is definitely not worth the price of any 192 sold at the asked price even on eBay. Been there, done that, it is a lot of work.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” Douglas Adams

Don't spend much.....
For reference, I paid $3000 three years ago for a 192 and trailer in sailaway condition - no restoration required. If you prefer sailing to hard labor with stinky chemicals, I wouldn't mess with a boat that needs work. There are so many nice boats in great shape on the used market. I think that in the long run, it is cheaper too. If you add up the cost or replacing sails, spars, an outboard or a new trailer, you may find it more economical to buy a more expensive boat where all those items are in good shape.

86 O'Day 192
Take some pictures of it James and upload it to this site so that we can see it. I was really surprised to find out that the dealer in Maine who took my friend's O'Day 192 in trade toward his Mac 26, was asking $8000 for the boat after they restored it. I think that they allowed him $4000 on it toward the Mac 26. Some of the O'Day 22s, which is a different type boat, were selling between $2300 and $4000 by private owners. Now, the 1986 O'Day 192s were some of the last ones built and they probably built them in 1987 too, I think. This one probably has internal halyards in the mast similar to my 1986 O'Day 222. It's really hard to speculate how much it is worth without seeing it up close. Check it out and see if the spars are all in tact. Check the hinge Tabernacle to make sure that it isn't broke. Check the condition of the rudder blade to see if it's separated at the seem. These blades were manufactured in two pieces and glued together and pumped with foam. They are noted for splitting at the seem. There's no way to know the condition of the centerboard. Check the forward hatch to see if that's not broken. As long as the hull and deck are structurally sound, it may be worth buying. The 192s are nice sailing boats with a keel centerboard. They handle well for any type of sailing. Check out all the spars, and extrusions including the stays and turnbuckles. Take someone with you who knows boats and if you think it can be restored, see what he'll take for it and go from there. It all depends on if you want to put in the time needed to restore it, if it's not too far gone. Personally, I'm allergic to work and I'd rather get something that I can use without putting in the time and labor. But I do enjoy doing modifications on the boat that I have now. Good luck! Joe

O'Day Project boat
I bought a 1970 Mariner (19) three years ago w1th a decent trailer and a 3.5 Nissan outboard with 10 hours on it for $2500.00. Since then I have spent abut $500.00 for new rigging. The boat needed nothing else and the Rigging replacments were over the three year period. I would look for something cleaner than sitting in a field for 6 years unless the owner wanted to give it to you to clear out his field. calnab

Delamination
That's my thought on a boat sitting outside in a field, Especially, if it in the northern climates where water freezes. Do you like to recore? Chances are all the hardware leaked and any forzen water popped the lamination bond. Free is good but you'll still be looking at $$$$$$$$$$$$ not
Good Luck -Doug
