1987 wing keel, harken roller furling, 8 hp Honda outboard, custom tandem trailer with brakes. $9,995

The boat has been sitting on its trailer for several years . . . it was really intended as ...

at least it wasn't the H word in either (basket) case

Hobie????

*ducking*

I'm not sure I see the logic in that, but at today's conversion rates it's only $26.000 in US dollars.

Plus shipping and handling <grin>

Jon, I just don't think I can afford your brokerage fees. If you know someone looking have them call me.

Pennywise is offered for sale.

87 wk decent main, new jib, harken roller, new trailer, Honda 8 hp, complete, headliner down.

I'm not in a hurry. Just don't have time for the boat . . . she dese ...

Gil, have you contacted the guy that runs Texas Sailing? He seems to be a straight shooter and presenting the facts objectively may get his attention. TS is becoming a major marketplace and he swing ...

D, were you an English major?

Frodo, there's no call to get insulting! <g> English major indeed!

BA in Psychology (Mothers, don't let your babies grow up to be liberal arts majors) I ca ...

Saying the forum is what it is seems pretty nebulous; but you sure have your own opinion of it. I think it is a lot of different things to different people. All resources are just that.

Well, it is ...

<chuckle> ummmm, Kelly, pretty defensive in my view. You haven't been attacked. The forum hasn't been attacked. It is what it is.

We've seen meltdowns. I'm amazed Dirk still pops in ('Ta ...

Generally, the best deal boats sell through here

That sentence pretty well sums it up. I'm not knocking the forum, Kelly, not at all. "Best deal" here is generally defined as cheapest, ...

And you guys complain about my grammer?

Garrett, it's grammar. I haven't complained of it. Should I start complaining, grammar would be way down the list.

I think Daryl really likes to be spanked...

SHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Yeah....Those outside ad's are always tickling someone elses naughty bits.

Well there ya go . . . yet another good reason to not be upset over it.

Wonder why he wouldn't offer it up here? anyone on the planet who wants one is here? strange?????????????

I dunno, Jon. We have people that have 235s. We have people that used to have 235s. and ...

Carolyn,

The above two posts from Pi and Nologic contain a subtle, but quite clear spanking of Daryl, direct from Sue and Bry. And they are right.

Pulling the single sentence changed your mean ...

Every day is April 1st with Jon!

This is clearly a time to defer to Carolyn's unique perspective and experience. But it's a GREAT quote!

is it a porn film?

<chuckle> Jon, if I could time travel, go back in time, one definite on the to do list would be providing your mother with brochures from La Leche League.

Prufrock's Peach didn't wear well with me. I got an email today that my vinyl is cut and graphics are on the way, so I guess Pennywise is going to stick a while. Film at eleven.

Michael! You're setting back 235 value big time!!!!

If anyone has been looking for the best price on a well maintained boat, I can't imagine doing any better.

ummmmm, I think he's serious ab ...

It is amazing how often geography and boat deals cross paths . . . . just not in synch.

Ken, ya scairt me! I misread the header on this posting . . . . damn assumptions are a bear.

Was this an option or a model year change

It isn't a model year change. To the extent that an end owner actually "ordered" a boat to spec I'd call it an option. I suspect the real mechanism was ...

Doggonit, Kelly! This is the third time this month I've been forced to agree with you.

While Sue has a valid point about a transaction between parties, the parties themselves have chosen to make ...

Check this out! Ben First 27 under 7K. Sure, it's been rode hard and put away wet a couple of time, but it's a heck of a price on what should be a good boat.

The design, however, is definately a ...

Our own Ms. J fantasized:
Perhaps once I have the actual boat, my discipline in keeping work/ forum/ and sailing separate will be better.

Yeah, right <big grin>

I hope your advice didn't come at an expensive cover

Hindsight is always 20/20. And yes, the long distance syndrome did cost me, although not so much I can't cope. I still have solid value, there ...
