Thanks for all the effort put into your reply. Thats some great food for thought, it never occured to me that resale is directly linked with locality. You could have saved me there as I was intending to search the whole coast find a boat and sail it to home port. Incidentally the home ports in the frontrunning thus far are Abermarle, Pamlico, Wilmington NC, and Charleston SC. Looking at the map its now clear that the same boat in both places (sounds and otherwise)would not fare as well in many aspects. I''ve been struggling with this question for a bit of time so you just took a load off my mind. I''ll wait until I move. Thanks, T
