Commander #155 'Mephisto Cat'

"16,000 U S Dollars of 2013 are worth 2,810.02 USD of 1965."

Asking price is a bargain.

Maybe not even enough!

Heck, care to venture a guess what it would cost to have on of these hulls laid up to original schedule with comparable quality materials at todays prices? A bare hull would set you back multiple tens of thousands, would be my guess.

It's not a cost, it's an investment.

Hey Kurt! Get some idea from the 'Largest Class of Full Keel Boats in North America'.
Pearson built 1775 of them between 1962 and 1983. In 2000 Zeke Durica in Florida
began building The Classic Ensign to Class rules. Boats were numbered beginning 2000.

Ensigns are 22'6" X 16'9" X 7' X 3'. Weigh in at around 2850 to 3000 lbs.
Chad Lewis now builds and refurbishes them in Marquette MI. On the
ENSIGN SPARS site he has a used new era Ensign #2016 for sale at $26,500.
He's got Ensign #146 for sale at $12,000.
Assume they're ready to race.

Remember seeing new Ensigns for sale at a much higher price, $35,000 ???

Some idea what a brand new Commander might cost (if the tooling existed) !
($50,000 - $65,000 - more?)

I cherish her every day I'm at the helm. Zero dispute on value. By a long stretch, I couldn't afford this beautiful yacht from a cheeky 2014 boat show.
