I moved on to my next sailboat project, a 53-ft center cockpit sloop in Florida and decided two boats wasn't practical anymore!
She's a solid go anywhere in 4 1/2 ft of water Bahama cruising sailboat! Pretty firm on the price as I spent twice that much in restoration. Will consider trade or will finance with 50% down.
