Great looking boat, i am in columbia and would love to take a look at it but could you give a "ballpark figure" as to what you are looking to sell it for? I would hate to disrespect you with a low ball offer, i just want to know if you are in my price range. you can respond with email if you dont want to list the price on the web

Don't really have a set asking price yet. We have around 25K invested including the original purchase, all the renovations to the hull, and the trailer rework. Obviously we know we wont get that for it but don't plan to give it away. Just looking for people who are serious about buying it to look the boat over and take a test ride, then decide what it is worth to them. Once we get some feed back from people then I plan to put a realistic listing price on it.
Thats a very able boat for its size. I've been to the Point from Oregon Inlet several times on one just like it. It has more usable room and rides better than a 24 Regulator. This one looks just as pretty as the one my buddy had and sold for significantly more money, so I'd say it should sell pretty easily.
