i appreciate you pointing out to me that an 84-88 p16 is worth 1700-2000. now, what does his page say about a 1997 model, or any other page for that matter.

you may not have seen the original post because i deleted it rather than leave it up and put up with the hassle of defending myself and the post. in retrospect, that was a mistake. i thoroughally believe this forum should not be used for advertising. i thought it was a place for cat sailors to share information that would otherwise not be readily available. in my opinion, this includes everything from how to replace a halyard to how much a particular boat or an upgrade is worth. in retrospect, the description of my boat may have been enough for some readers to infer that it was actually an advertisement. believe me, it was not my intention to imply that. what i was trying to do is describe the options and upgrades the boat has because they would generally affect the value... white sails cost less than colored sails, furling is an upgrade, rigging is always something that must be taken into account...

wait, this post may be construed as another advertisement. maybe i shouldn't use the open forum to make my point.
