Heh, 72 isn't too old. There are a lot of interesting deals on EBAY
also. I almost bid on a Bertram 35 the other day that had relatively
new Cummins turbo diesels in it. Coukd have won the bid for somewhere
less than $14,000. The engines alone were worth more than that. Sort
of sorry I let it go but it would have added another unneeded
complexity.

Man that would have been a good deal if the boat was any count at all. Is the boat market soft right now?

The market seems very soft for older boats. A lot of them are showing
up on EBAY. I think part of the issue is the durability of fiberglass
boats. If maintained even half way decently, they just seem to last
forever. The systems start to go however, and it can cost a fortune
to start replacing and upgrading - all of which is done at new boat
pricing.
