I think it is going to be hard to find a boat in St. Louis. Most
bluewater boats are going to be in Southern California or on the
southern East Coast.


BTW, Grandma Rosalie, I know you keep track of CSY's for sale. Here's
one: http://www.csyforsale.com

Thanks - I know of the boat but I didn't know she was FS. Kind of a
steep price IMHO although she looks beautiful. .

I was pretty shocked by what they are asking. I realize from looking at the
website that they have done a lot of recent work, but I doubt they can honestly
expect to recoup all that they invested. These boats are usually offered needing
about 20-40k of refitting for about 75 - 85K. To me, someone should be able to
buy one of these and have it pretty darned fresh for 100 - 110k. I wouldn't mind
owning one, and when we get to the point in a few years when we need a
comfortable liveaboard for 4-6 months at a time, a CSY will be high on the list
of candidates.

It isn't completely out of the ballpark. I have seen ones sell for
more than that. One of them started out at $300K and eventually sold
for about $195K.
