squadrons class 11 years ago at the age of 15, So I have some
experiance.

As a first time boat owner who just bought a bowrider the two seem
similar so 3500 wins over 6000 ! Around Vancouver island/Vancouver, BC

$6000 Can boats were late 80's vintage.

If thats what boats sell for back east it might have been almost worth
travelling... almost but not quite :-)
good luck
