Our boat is still for sale. Sorry for any confusion. Neal did get in touch with us and we have been discussing the details. Apparently the notices from the forum were getting caught in our spam filters since we never received the ones from Neal. If any one else is also interested in the boat, please email dcoleman07@sunplans.com
