Zang, I almost missed the party.

My thoughts are most folks here who sell their boats will do so for more than they paid. Everyone on this site has love for their boat. We come here to learn about fixing and upgrading our boats.
I don't get the feeling that these are the boats that sit and rot at the dock.

I already posted here that my boat has gained value. When I look at Main sail's #'s it gives me even greater hope that IF I ever sell this boat, it will be for much more that I paid for it. (It was free) With the knowledge on this site almost any one can take an old derelict and with some love and time breath new life into her.

After you spend some time here you will see the legnths gone to by the people here. Do not forget when you buy a sailboat you get more than the boat. You get a new/Extended family.

How much is that worth?
At what rate do friendships devalue?

This info would be better received on a different site, say one where folks knew nothing about sailing.
