At any time there are maybe 20 of the boats for sale somewhere in the world. In the summer of 2004, there were 4 for sale in N and S Carolina. We went to look at all of them. By that time a 1988 boat had depreciated to the point that I coul afford it. Adair wante to have a boat with a tiller rather than a wheel and wanted a boat that was in good condition and well equipped. This boat met both requirements, so we bought it.
