My English teacher taught me that a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with.
I don't wish to be the one to dump a bucket of cold salt water down anyone's foul weather gear, but there's the old adage about a silk purse and sow's ear. Not that the 35 Mk II was ever the latter. However one has to wonder why someone would drop anything near 70 kilobucks into any boat that will have a hard time selling for half that much. For that amount you can have a nice 35 Mk III or a 38, both newer, faster boats. That seller's going to take a bath on this one.
I currently have a call in on the Mk II in Bellingham.
