My 2 cents:
Colonial, the outfit selling this
boat has been around a long time and does good
work on woodies. I don't know the circumstances of the
refurb which happend a couple of years ago... might ask some questions regarding that. I've only seen it from the outside and she is quite pretty in spite of the unusual (to me) looking dog house arrangement. The pinks are supposed to be really good sailors. They were asking about 15 earlier but it's a rare arrangement so I'm not surprised she isnt selling.
I think 8500 is a good
price but after a thorough
inspection I'd respond with a 6500 offer. She'd be a fun weekender and you'd be welcome with open arms at the anual wooden
boat regatta Pretty little boat. Your ass is going to get wet with that cockpit!
