Check the
Sold Boats website at:
http://www.soldboats.com to see what that brand/length has been selling for.
A 1969
trawler that hasn't been updated in any way may turn out to be a huge "bargain" headache.
Do you want a
project boat that you're going to
refit? Or do you want to be able to use the boat right away?
Check out
boatpoker's user profile, follow the links to his website and have a look at the lovely
refit he and his wife did on their cabincruiser - and also pay attention to
how long it took them.
Good luck!

P.S. If you're anywhere near
Ontario, perhaps get boatpoker to conduct a
current survey so you'd have a better idea of what you'd be getting into...
