Whoops! My bad. Somehow the old brain said "Seattle." You planning to sail mostly on The Big Briny? And are you planning to slip there, or dry-sail? At any rate, you'll want a boat impervious to osmotic blistering. Some are more vulnerable than others. And an aluminum trailer, if you can get it! If buying local keep a CLOSE eye on standing
rigging, esp around
turnbuckles and chainplates, and try to get a look at keel bolts (fixed) or pivots and cables (swing). That's some darn salty water you got.
You looking at the Vegas Ranger (think its only one, listed twice)? The 28 is a good boat. Quick, like all Rangers. Funky hull shape -- narrow entry and stern, but beamy with tumblehome to make it a reasonable cruiser. Might have an interesting motion in big seas, but should be great on a lake. The tall mast option is worth a few seconds per mile, tho it's going to be a handful when the mountain winds pipe up.
You've prolly seen
this Ranger 28 in Tahoe, right? Sounds like the poster needs to ease off the ephedrine a little, but the price sure turns your head. Definitely a "see in person, show me ID & title" sort of listing. Also a Cal25 there. I really like the Cal yachts.
