Well it's looking like the 2008 is the most desirable choice although it's missing the stays, beach and car trailer, and mast. Any ideas on what that might cost?
The parted out boat was taken off Craigslist so that's out of the picture. Does anyone know of a place where comptip masts are sold complete near or on Long Island? Also getting a trailer will be another problem. There are plenty of boats for sale for under 1g but I don't want to own 2 boats at the same time.
If you get a beater for under $1K you will have what you need to go sailing for way less than a complete 2008 will cost.
You shouldn't need a Comp-Tip until you start racing regularly. You can put one on yourself, they are about $500 at a Hobie dealer.
If you are lucky, you can find a beater with a trailer AND beach wheels!
You will want to replace the rigging pretty soon, but you probably should do that on any boat you buy.
