The people who compliment our boat are generally those with better,
more
attractive boats of their own, such as similar CCA-type boats, Grand
Banks
trawlers, or high-end boats such as Swans and Aldens. Most Hunter and
Catalina owners just stare at it, clueless, wondering what it is.


That's a sad statement for the sailors in your area. Most Catalin and
Hunter owners here already owned a boat like yours. In fact we have a
new Hunter 35 owner here who came out of a Alberg 35 Yawl (One of my
favorites). The young lady we sail with out of HYC restored a Pearson
Wanderer before buying a Catalina 32. Like me she has a new family and
wanted a superior platform to keep sailing. City Island and the whole
area is loaded with boats like yours and most people know what they
are.

I've rejected over $70k for it--twice.


Wow, dude. Now it's twice? You don't think that, days after you said
you had one offer, it sounds a bit suspect to change it to two?
The first season I had my C&C 32 a fellow stopped over. He loved C&C
boats and really liked Alien. He said he'd pay 35K for her in a
heartbeat. After my second season I let him know she was for sale..and
for less than 35K. Guess what? He didn't buy her.
You be sure to let us know when your boat sells for 70K plus...or
whatever, dude. Rock on.

I'll be sure to do that for ya, Bubbles. Not that you'll believe it. Not
that I care.

What ever gave you the impression that your area was anything like mine?

I know it's not. Well maintained restored classics are commonplace
here. Sounds like you live in the land of Catalina over there.

Catalinas, Beneteaus, and Hunters. We have some nice boats, but they are
rare enough that when a new Moody or Hinckley sails into our area, they
attract sailors like flies to rotting meat.

The previous owner of our boat socked over $40K into her just before we
bought her. She attracts a lot of attention, so much so that we have
constant lurkers whenever we cruise to other ports. It can become annoying,
despite the compliments.
