Bottom line: I've been offered more than you paid for your boat. Nuf
said.


C'mon, Maxi. If some whacko offers you 15-25K above market it's rare
and you know it.

Open your eyes, Bubbles. "Market" varies from locale to locale. As you
pointed out, there are lots of such boats where you are. Here there are
almost none, and the demand for them is high. Brokers leave their cards
under my dodger, with a note stating that they have buyers for my boat.

You're not going to be able to get 60K for the
Seasprite based on some previous offer. True values are usually well
below 45K for ANY Seasprite and no one pays much for 2nd hand
electronics these days.
Now get over yourself!

We have another SS34 in our port, an owner-finished one, albeit a beautiful
job inside and out, at the marina next door. The guy paid $66K for it in
Maine, and I think he got a bargain. So does he. His is a masthead cutter
rig with a bowsprit that really doesn't look right on a CCA-type boat, but
it is functional and sails well. His equipment is minimal, but in good
condition.
