I agree. Not many folks expect to pay $28,500 for a 1973 23' open fisherman. Believe me I have met a lot of folks who are interested for several thousand off my asking price. When I first looked at the boat way back when, I thought it was few thousand dollars more than I wanted to pay. The owner was pretty firm like me today. I tossed and turned during the night and decided I was only a couple thousand dollars away from being the new owner. I was not going to let a relatively low amount of money get in the way of me owning this boat. I am happy I did and will find the right person sooner or later. It looks as if those who have expressed an interest are in line with your thoughts. They are probably right. I am going to move forward and invest some more money to take care of the few items that need attention. My first item is going to be a new trailer. The last six months have not been kind to the axles and springs. I have regretted my decision to overhaul the trailer in 2003. What's another 4K for a new trailer? After I invest in a new trailer and spend little more for a few of the items identified in my initial post, I will have approximately 52K invested. I am well aware that my ownership has a price, but I am not going to give her away. I am looking forward to the summer.
