I like the look and layout and reputation of the Great Dane better but this is a nice little cruiser that will be sure to sell soon. Good looking headroom, it could be just the thing for someone who wants to be able to go all the way inside on a rainy day. Sailboat data website claims less than 10 were built? https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/bluejacket-23-ms some interesting pix on the website; cl boat looks to be the same model.

Anyways, I could see how this could fill a niche.

Did some googling. Def not intended for any passagemaking but who knows someone suggested bringing one to Oz.

Remember the guy wanting infrared cameras so he could navigate without sticking his head out into that uncomfortable weather? Boat for him.

10' is just too wide for me, can't abide permitting every state I transit.

Looks ready to cruise out in. Hot water shower is a nice touch. More money than most of what I look at, but more boat as well.

Caveat emptor, but it could still be legit.

This phrase "Yanmar diesel needs work" would worry me more than the leak...

I am inclined to agree. This may be one of those diamonds in the rough. If you don't mind getting a little dirty getting the engine out and have a friendly mechanic and yard nearby, the engine and stuffing box may take care of most of the boat's issues... I'd say its worth a look...
I helped my friend with his MD7A and THAT was considerably more expensive to rebuild.
