James - thanks for the note and kind words - I really have not looked at boat prices but I would guess they are a bit cheaper over here as the Carib had a bit of an issue last year and supply/demand - send me an email and I have contact who use to work for a boat broker over here and she has been in Turkey for 25+ years and may have some insight - there are a lot of boats for sale in our marina but they are excharter boats but well maintained and we constantly have folks come and ask if we want to sell SoulMates -- our email is svsoulmates - hotmail and our fb page is boat svsoulmates (nikita mears - don't ask long story)
look forward to talking with you

Hi chuckr,
My wife & I are planning on buying our first sailboat & came across one of your very informative posts while doing insurance research.
The reason I'm contacting you is I noticed you are in the Med & I'm interested in boat prices there. Have you noticed any actual sell prices? If so, do you think they are higher or lower than what one sees on Yachtworld & such? If you haven't noticed I totally understand. Hope you guys are having a great time, I'm envious. Thanks for reading.

sincerely,
James Casey
