Wasn't what I was looking for, not even on my short list of potential boats.
But Saturday afternoon saw it newly listed, called early on Sunday and was there within 10 minutes of when the owner was first able to show it. $1000 later and "we" are the owner of our first boat together. The we being my fiance and I, as it is our first "big" purchase together. Out wedding in 2 weeks has been interfering with boat shopping and we may still have enough to get a bigger boat when it is all done.
We now have a 14' West Wight Potter for our local lakes and weekends to other locations, a true trailersailor. Its mostly all there and ready to sail. It will need some work to get it up to shape but I can't imagine spending more than $1000 more to get it in great shape. It may be a hole in the water surrounded by fiberglass but it is a very small hole.
I haven't even had much time to look it over but I will hopefully be getting a day off in the middle of the week to assess my upcoming project. Will post some pictures.
