Default Reduction in the fleet!

I just sold my GS 41 sloop.
Some of the inquiries/offers I got from the ads were pretty wacky. One guy
offered 25% of my asking price and wanted a boat ready to cross the
Atlantic, 2 others offered 30% under my asking with no questions, etc. It
was hard to keep my sociable attitude when one of them pinged twice again
after my declining his offer.
Another offered a trade of a nice 30' trailered sailboat which I would have
taken seriously if I were wanting to go that direction. Looked like a great
boat but I would have had to get a bigger truck for towing too.
I got what I expected within 2 weeks of first advertising the boat, not
really what I wanted but with the market the way it is now I'm happy. And
the new owners are happy with their purchase.
Now working on my 1967 Morgan 24. Great boat. I like the style and
sturdiness of old boats and pretty much anything I do to this one will make
it look better!
