Who are you trying to kid? You don't have any friends.

Does anybody have any experience, good or bad, with this model S2 or
S2's in general. I have heard they are middle-of-the-road as far as
quality. Better than a Hunter but worse than a Pearson, for example.
Are there any known issues when used as a coastal cruiser?
S2 is pretty well built boat. Better than some varieties of Pearson IMHO
and often better design too. The 36' center cockpit S2 is probably the
best sailing center cockpit cruiser ever built. Up until a short while
ago we had 2 in our marina.
