For $23 K you ought to get a diesel at least . A seller's wet dream !

[commanderpete]

Sure, it seems like alot. But look at the tankage! And 7.5 kts. max speed.

You get 1984 batteries and electronics, 1968 sails.

Two fenders thrown in and a topping lift.

You guys are sitting on a gold mine

[mbd]

Well, now that I've bought mine - this price seems like a really good deal for such a fine vessel!! :cool:

[c_amos]

You know, I DO wish him well. It does sound like a nice boat.....

... but 21 year old batteries???? :confused:

[Mike Goodwin]

Yeah man, 20 year old batteries are the thing !

[Tom_Nelson]

My Batteries ain't but five years old and I'd let the whole thing go for $20,000

[mbd]

Hey Tom,

It looks like you already have a version of Ebb's aft hutch! What is that? Your mod?

[Tom_Nelson]

When I got her, the aft cabin was considerably taller and real flimisy, the kids couldn't stand on it. There's a British Seagull in there and the top wouldn't close. I took off the old one and came back with oak, as low a profile as possible. I'm still not happy with it but it's better.

thanks for asking
Tom
