Before I go onto Craig's list with this:
We upgraded to a 32-3 and I am about to doll up our 23 to sell. This is a really a great, brand new in 2013, lovingly broken in Tohatsu 6HP long shaft ($1300+- value) that comes with a good old boat ($2,500+- value as is.)
Of course at this point in the season she is a little green, needs a bit of this and that (mast light is out etc.). In stalking Craigslist and Lake Union for the last two years, I have seen packages such as this go for $5,000 on a sunny day (too much, and that was a Catalina for god's sake!) and I have seen them fire sale for $2,500 (too little, desperate seller, junky boat). I am going to start working her over and probably list it for $4,500 to the CL general public as the (modest) project list gets accomplished.
If someone comes from the Ericson community I will make them a better deal. If someone jumps up now and saves me some scrubbing time I would let her go for $3K.
This is a terrific 1st keel boat. A wonderful "duck dodge" boat (moorage is right off the course.)
I am not looking for top $$ from my Ericson brethren, just a fair deal. If I go out to CL I'm going to have to get cynical, cagey and defensive.
Anyone interested in some good cheap fun?
