shore is a purty thang......

I've actually been aboard your boat. I looked at her a few months ago. Back in July, I think. She was definately pretty. Seemed like a very good cruising boat. Have any luck selling her?

Thanks Kevin, since then I've painted the interior, replaced the fixed portlights and their frames, painted the binnacle and a few other things -- we had decided on keeping her and heading back to the islands this winter until a few weeks ago when I found the right next boat

A guy flew out last weekend and made an offer and gave me a deposit check on the spot, so I think he's pretty serious....he still has to survey, etc. but I think she's probably sold

Congrats! Glad you found your next boat and got a buyer for Illusion. I ended up getting an Alberg 35 about a 2-3 weeks after looking at yours. What did you end up getting?

What made you go with the alberg over the Chris craft?

[Kevin84]

The Alberg was about $11,000 cheaper and included the slip for a year. Since I'm not planning on cruising just yet, I didn't need a 100% cruise ready boat. That, and the Alberg has a Mermaid heat and a/c system on it (kind of a must in Charleston during the summer!)

Cool. Was not trying to hijack the thread, I was genuinely curious. I was in there market and made a purchase myself and I'm always curious regarding the reasons four one vs another especially since I was just playing the game.

[Kevin84]

No, I agree 100%. I looked at every thing from this one to a CAL 2-29, a Catalina 36, a C&C Sloop, the boat I bought and a few others. In the end, I just couldn't pass up the deal on this one. I mean, not having to pay slip rental for a year? Oh hell yeah I'm jumping on that.

Hello we might be interested and we will be back in FL in the next few weeks while we will be able to visit her if possible. Please could you keep us post about your sale because as a new user I don't know how to tag your post :-)
Thanks Merci
Christianne and David

will do -- he's supposed to close the 10th of November, we've had a ton of interest this time around, hopefully she's found her new home
