I'm planning on looking at boat #1 this weekend, no time for #2 right now too busy and it's 2 hours away and still, no trailer.
If I end up buying #1 I'll see if I can have a comptip installed by someone who knows what they're doing at least on the 1986 mast it has. Again I get the trailers I need and all fresh lines and rigging, harnesses, and trap wires, from #1.
If the guy gets back to me about the mast he's selling before then I will rethink it but that depends also if he has trailers and rigging.
Then with the trailer from boat #1 I'll be able to get the 2008 boat switch out parts depending upon which I'm sailing and work my way from there if all goes well.
I asked for a complete list of all the parts missing from the 2008 boat and he hasn't gotten back to me and that was 3 days ago

. Hopefully it's still for sale but I never would've been able to buy it within this time and not seeing it anyway.
