That does sound like a nice boat for the price. The Mk1 in Vancouver is going for 32K CAD, with an A4!
Haulout for the 35-2 is tomorrow, so unless something awful shows up, we're probably going to proceed, and spend the two weeks on the hard fixing what I can to get her ready for cruising in June. We can't afford a perfect boat, so will learn to overlook the deficiencies and tinker with what we can on the rainy days...
