I bought an '78 E-35 MKII 4 years ago for $9000 and dumped plenty of kala (Hawaiian for $) into it, as a "resurrection"-project, and just sold her for $20000, (after broker's fee). I have a bag-full of receipts that would break a camel's back (or a Catalina's keel) that I am just tossing out. Luckily I got to enjoy sailing the boat here (with a great "crew") in Hawaii almost every-weekend once I got her operational. Ya gotta love working on these babies, eh? Am looking at an '86 E-38 today, (maybe I need a 12-step program too, eh?)OMG , I dont even add up what i spend on the boat anymore.... I need a 12 step program for my boat upgrading behavioral problem.....
