Yes it's appropriate to ask if they would consider selling the boat. I just bought a 20sf that took me about 4 months worth of phone calls before I finally got in touch with the rightful owner. Even then he was playing hard to get and said he was not sure that he wanted to sell. I waited another 3 weeks and upped my price another $500 and finally he bit. So keep at it and you will eventually get a boat. As far as books go I cant remember the names but there are two really good ones out there. They are buried somewere in my house. Go to Amazon.com and do a search. Also keep looking at this site and classicmako.com and you will pick up some good info.
