Cheapie pricing? ?$90,000 for a 26 CC with a 250 Optimax isn't exactly
"cheap". ?I can add thirty thousand to that and buy Eisboch's Grand
Banks which is one hell of a boat.

Isn't that his wife's 36-footer? He's only asking $120k? Is it a
woodie?
Even if, that might be cheap.

When the "buyer's market" goes into overdrive next spring, some
enterprising guy can probably make a good living hauling trawlers from
the east coast (where they are underappreciated) up to the NW. He
could backhaul sportfishers, for the same reason.

Two boat brokers here in New England have told me of thier observations of
the general local market. Boat sales are slow and those that *are*
selling are usually to someone out of state.

We actually had someone from your neck of the woods considering the
Navigator. Apparently my asking price plus the estimated cost to ship
from the east coast to west coast was still less than the current market
value of a similar Navigator on the west coast.
Last we knew they were getting shipping cost details, but I doubt we'll
hear from them again.

I am still going back and forth on this but, for now, the Navigator is
officially off the market. The cost to replace it is ridiculous and
there's nothing wrong with it or it's systems.

We'll try selling the GB again next spring. BTW ... it is not wood ...
it's glass. 1982 vintage.

We don't see a lot of trawler style boats up here, although they'd be
perfect for our cool damp climate.
