good point Doug King...hey....wasn't it Bruce King that did a lot of
the Ercison hull designs?...I worked @ the plant for a few years in
the mid 80's...Fun place...great product...

Anyway, hes isn't your daddy or somethin' is he? Bruce King did some
very
nice boats...I'll bet a "google" on him would reveal some interesting
stuff...

i bid up to $5k on the ebay ericson 38 (would love to skipper a e38!!)
but
wasn't sure i could go much $5k w/all the other potential expenses...

i am a tax accountant..landlocked (i have 20 yrs of sailing background)
right
now in northern colorado...I would be interested in investing and
running a
corp owned ericson 38 ... of course it could be a "shell s corp" for
boat
usage of, say, no more than 3 owners ... anyway.. I can do all the
admin,
bookeeping, tax returns, "hosting" and maintaining a reservation system
(like
we do now for a cessna) for the corp owners... it could be a nice
lettle shell
w/a lot of possibilities..


well stated
