My wife has always wanted to learn to sail, and have a sailboat, this
one seems to fit us, and is trailerable. I know bass boats, not
sailboats, so please take a look. I went and looked at it, and for
it's age, it's immaculate. He acts as he'll come down a little.
Thanks.


I suppose the link would be a good idea, sorry!

When I sold my Halman, the buyer was comparing it to a boat similar to
this. From a price standpoint, it's about right if it's in really
good condition. If he'll come down a tad, you might be golden.

I would also echo Don's advice on this - it's not a trailerable as in
tow, rig and throw in the water easily. The Halman was doable, but
after trying it once in the front yard, it's not as easy as you might
think.

I also concur - a couple of hundred to have it surveyed would be an
excellant idea.

Nice choice though.


To all: Thanks for the information, advice, etc. I bought it. $3700.
It's in my back yard as we speak. I towed it home with my pickup, no
problem. I've got a good tow package, but I think I could have pulled
it with the wife's car! I'm arranging storage on the lake for spring.


Good for you! There's something about a sailboat that brings out the best
in a boater. ;-)
