Greetings to All: I'm retired and an experienced previous
Caribbean cat owner. My wife and I enjoy island cruising and are looking for an affordable cat to keep in the
Leeward Islands for recreational use via month-long trips in the
eastern Caribbean. Several
Privilege 39's from the 2002-2005 era are on the market in my
price range (< $200K). I will have a survey/sea trial done on my final choice, but would appreciate input from the group about any special problems with the 39s that could lead to expensive
repairs, large loss of value, etc. I'm thinking about running
gear, special
hull de-lamination concerns, structural matters,
Privilege engines problems, low resale challenges, etc. All comments are appreciated.
