I wondered about that. I wasn't aware that Irwin built any such boat, and
was aware that Ericson had one, but I don't follow Irwins well enough to
know.

A bunch of Irwins were in production under different names.
Ted Irwin was a good designer and a great sailor; don't know
what went wrong with his boat company... caved in to the
beancounters, maybe.


... And that Ericson I-31 was
one seriously ugly boat.


You need your eyes checked. Bruce King has never designed an
ugly boat in his life.

Sorry, Doug, but I've actually been aboard the 31 and you haven't. I
sailed Argo several times in fact...slow, but comfy. You were trying to
sell that Hunter 19 at the time to pursue powerboating!

Perhaps not "ugly" but didn't King design the Ericson 39 flush deck in
the early 70's? I was always fond of it and it's fast for it's day, but
it's all-hull high freeboard design takes a bit of getting used to in
person.
Google it, Doug. I bet you were never aboard one of those either. The
one I sailed was fully restored by her owner, then he sold her and
decided to buy her back a year later at a much higher price.

What's overpriced? The one we had was priced way too high at 169K, then
dropped to 149K where it did attract some interest, but too late for
the owner. That was 3 years ago and I don't think the value had
adjusted much. A realy clean Sabre 38 should be worth 140K easily and
10K more for a super-nice example.

The asking price is $175K. It's a fresh-water boat, which generally brings
more, but not that much more.

Yep, that's too much to be sure. He sounds like he has his head in the
clouds or really doesn't want to sell.
