I have had considerable interest in the boat. I have had more than I expected from out of town folks. When I decided to put the boat up for sale I had a tough time deciding on a fair price. Each potential buyer has had the overall opinion I am very negotiable. I am not ready to give her away. She is worth a lot and I will continue to enjoy ownership until the right person comes along. For example, take a look at the rare 20' overnighter that is for sale by Bill Potter. Great looking boat but it is '79 restoration for 39K. Do I think it is toatlly out of the question....no because I understand what it takes to pay a professional outfit to put a restoration together. I also recognize what the new boats are going for these days. For me, I have 48K in my boat and believe you would find it a difficult task to locate a 1973 23 SF in better condition. This is a heavy, well made boat, that is now stronger than original. With a few small items I have been holding off on (like the t-top canvas), this boat is close to new condition. If it doesnt sell, I plan to put fresh paint on her and hold my head high at the sand bar.
