Tom,

Every time fuel costs go crazy, sailboats come back in style.

I do not know what upgrades you had in mind, but since wooden boats are
a specialty market, I rather doubt that they would bring back the cost
at sale.

If you do not have wooden boat all over the house, barrow one and read
the classified in the back.

Are there any yacht brokers that hang out in this group? I'm going to
be preparing a 41' wooden sloop for sale one of these days, and I have
some questions about certain upgrades that I'm thinking about doing.
I'm wondering if I can get some informed opinions about whether the
cost of the upgrades would pay off, either in terms of making the boat
more attractive for sale or getting me a better price.

Thanks,
Tom Dacon



Sailboats selling okay here (PNW), especially pilot houses.
