Anyone have any experience withan allied luders 33? Saw one in CT for sale and it looked really sharp. Found a cheap one in florida. 10 grand obviously a fixer upper. Any thoughts?

Re: allied luders 33
No experience other than lusting after them whenever I see one. Found a site here with a short description and a link to a Practical Sailor review of the Luders 33.The Good Goose wrote:Anyone have any experience withan allied luders 33?
Brock, are you sure you want another old boat with balsa cored decks? ;-) There's a lot more deck to go soggy in a 33 footer than on a Triton.

The Luders 33 is a nice design--nice lines, good layout, respected designer. Allied built decent boats--pretty no-frills and basic, as are most boats from the 60s, but the hulls and decks seem to be as good as any boat. Note that Robin Lee Graham finished his well-documented circumnavigation in a Luders 33 (after completing 3/4 in a Lapworth 24).
The Luders 33 and the Seabreeze share substantially the same deck mold. The hulls are a bit different, but the boats are very similar in many ways.
I'm sure you'd be pleased with the boat, and she seems a logical evolution for a Triton owner. As with any boat of this age, it's all about the potential.
Good luck if you decide to pursue the project boat! Some people are just gluttons for punishment.

Not really in the market just dreaming. If I didn't like the triton so well I might make the jump to something bigger. If anyone else is interested its listed on boattrader.com I searched Allied and it came up. Its listed as a "ludders 33" so it didn't come up in the luders search.bcooke wrote:Brock, does this mean you are in the market for a new project boat?
