yeah the way I was looking at it was 25k purchase price 10k rigging 10k sails 15k motor 10k electronics, plumbing, etc
This assuming that hull and deck are sound. I own a moisture meter and when shopping for my current boat used it to pre-qualify any boats before paying for a survey. The 200 investment saved me a lot of money. So, 70k and you have a "new" C&C 40 that to my eye, is way cooler than a new 40 foot benny or whatever that costs 4 times more. If only it were that simple. A man can dream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAUOPHqx5Gs Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 2:31 PM, Jean-Francois J Rivard <jfriv...@us.ibm.com>wrote: > > The C&C 40 on YachtWorld looks gorgeous.
