The kids have moved away and I have a dodgy shoulder and bum knee.

I have been fooling myself for a while that I will get back on the water but it is not going to happen.

I find myself with a Hobie Getaway / Trailer / Sail box / engine mount and 2hp Honda looking for a new home.

I am located in Northern California - Bay Area.

Do people have advice on where I should advertise?
I am not looking for a lot of money
I suspect the trampolines, and seat covers will need replacing as well as the attached lines.
The sail, rudders and outboard have been stored in clean dry garage.
The tires / wheels on the trailer will need inspection.

If a verifiable youth group or similar is interested the price will be very low

I sold a 14' cat and more pretty fast on craiglist. Buyers told me facebook maketplace was better, but apparently folks there were discussing my craiglist ad which had quite catchy photos. Cash buyers were suspicious they were gonna get robbed when meeting me and took odd precautions, so maybe put them at ease somehow.

Deserving charity recipients are out there, but may be hard to find, or uninterested in fixer uppers. Oddly the best candidates may be people torn about buying your stuff. Some may say they love it but can't quite justify. Next time I may negotiate way low for those cases.
