i paid $1000 for my '81 after a long search. i replaced the tired tramp with black mesh ($300) and reglassed the bottoms of the hulls which were pretty thin from being dragged on the beach. i replaced several batten pocket protectors- their condition is a pretty good indicator of the overall condition of the sails- and repaired the jib which had torn loose from the jib luff wire at the top. the main sail bolt rope was starting to tear away from the sail near the bottom. if the boat you are looking at is in fact in very good condition with good sails (no repairs needed) solid hulls ( no soft areas especially in front of the front pylons)new rigging and not much wear on the bottoms its probably worth $1700. desirable extras include an adjustable tiller extension and 6:1 low profile mainsheet system. good luck!
