[quote=Wolfman]I don't know, have you went golfing lately!? Very expensive! I actually thought it was clever rather than an error. Me and my twisted sense of humor.
That's the truth. I WAY overpaid for my 5.2 compared to what it would have cost me to buy and ship a similar boat from Florida! If I had known about this site and had been a little better tuned in to the community I would have gotten a better boat cheaper.
As it is the boat was about $6000, but had a been filled, gelcoated had a new tramp, new sails, a trailor and was available within 25 minutes of my house. Was that expensive for the boat I got, Oh yeah. Am I disappointed that I paid so much. No, it was in the right place at the right time and saved me a lot of hassle. The only regret is that I didn't know enough about boats and the guy I bought it from didn't really either. The sails he made are decently made but dead flat so not worth much and I replaced them immediately (anyone want a set of storm sails for a 5.2 cheap?).
Anyway the point is that you probably can get that price for the boat if you market it right and you are in the right place. If you are within 150 miles of Andrew or a hotbed of sailing with many catamarans hitting the market every year your chances are much reduced. If you are in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (i.e. a 6-10 hour drive from anywhere civilized) you can probably get your price. A guy near here sold a 1985 Nacra 5.5 for over $5000 last year.
Give it a shot, nothing ventured nothing gained.
