Yep, but those bowls are worth more than your boat. Hey, I notice you never answered about your funny claim that your boat costs what mine does! Now THAT was a hook! Yes, I did. You claimed my boat was a Seafarer, which it isn't. As usual you were clueless. Apparently you chose to "miss" my response. My boat not only cost more than yours, it's now worth far more than yours. Yours is depreciating, while mine is appreciating, and demand for gorgeous, supremely-equipped examples like Clover mean she's sold before I make the decision to part with her. Max The last SeaSprite sold on Yacht World sat for a very long time. The asking price was 57,500. It finally sold for $42,500. http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatFullDetails.jsp;jsessionid=cW03Zg6-M1X9?boat_id=1491250&ybw=&units=Feet¤cy=USD& access=Public&listing_id=1791&url= CWM You, too, appear to be clueless, BB. There were only 46 SS34s built, and the majority were owner-finished boats. The few factory-finished ones were mostly earlier numbers, below 20, and they were considerably superior to the owner-finished examples for a variety of reasons. They command substantially higher prices as a rule, of course condition can be a mitigating factor. Mine is factory and exceptionally well-equipped, including all the electronic bells and whistles, such as radar, color graphic chart plotter/GPS, autopilot, sail instruments, etc. The list of options and upgrades would take several pages of 8x10 paper to list. And the boat's condition is bristol. But of course nothing is worth more than someone is willing to pay for it. I currently have two anxious would-be buyers, both with cash in hand, who've offered me more than I paid for it, which is fortunate because the BUC prices reflect boats that have sold over a period of time, and all of them have been owner-finished examples with limited equipment and ample problems. Good examples of any boat sell quickly--poor examples take forever to sell, but eventually do. Max |
