No offense Lou but if you have never been through buying a boat before, always confirm the specs. I was considering a boat with a fin keel in the chesapeake. It was fairly far up and I was very leary of this. I called the broker to confirm and he assured me it was a fin keel. I looked at where the boat was slipped and still had my doubts. I called one last time the day before making the 600+ mile trip to look at the boat and the broker said that it was a wing keel like I was crazy for thinking it was a fin!

The 32-200 does NOT have 17 gallons holding tank. It's 6 or less.
But the boat looks fantastic. Somebody is going to make me jealous, getting it for under $30K.
I could probably go and look at it for you this weekend, if you want. Newport Beach is just down the road.

yea Mikebat...I heard that...It l@@ked like a sweet deal...I offered $20k on it sight unseen...Hey, sounds like you may the type of "partner" we may be l@@king for is the So Cali area .. I have formed a LLC partnership called "Odyssey Sailing Inc" .. We have 5 "slots" or owners ( in at $10k each ) ... We are shopping for a ericson 32 to 38 "200" 1983 (or so) to 1990... to add to our small "fleet" ( a ericson 23 & a boston whaler 22' revenge - 225ob and a GMC Denali to pull the toys ) Our existing partners are in Colorado, but our ericson will be either in San Fran, Del Rey, Oxnard, or San Diego...We want a partner near the boat to use it and keep an eye on it..as the colorado partners would only use it a few times per year...The one or two partners would have acess to the ericson any time for a fraction of the normal owners cost...as we would be splitting the ttl costs over 5 owners vs. 1...anyway..something to think about, if ya live is so cali and are thinking "nice ericson 32 - 28 feet"...cheers !!...Mo dues at aprox $125 - $150 per mo..so far, this more than covers our expenses...We have used this business model with a cessna here in colorado....

I have a 87 32 standard in San Diego. I was considering selling it since I just don't use it as much any more. This parnership sounds interesting though.

maybe the folks that bought it will end up on our board...that would be cool...every year or so i see a real steal on a ericson...i guess the trick is to have the cash and a plane ticket ready...and a good surveyor also...

I love it. It looks good and sails very well to weather. It is beautiful and comfortable inside. I have been sailing a long time so with that ability to see headers and lifts along with it being a fast boat I beat a lot of boats on the bay that are bigger and should stomp me. I like that I can throw out the 150% genoa and do it all by myself.
I have owned it since it was 6 mos old and have really enjoyed it.
Safe travels and hear from you later
