reid,i agree with your assesment of the work that was done on the boat in question,not very correct,perhaps at one third the asking price it might be something to begin a project on.however the the pics.of the boat you put up are that of a magnificant example of nautical beauty and would be well worth the asking price.having owned my first boat at 11 years of age,ive repaired,and build several wooden and glass boats so i kinda know my way around them,the $22,500 is exactly what i payed for my 63 bj7 this past may 12th,it happens to have been my birthday,and id love to own the 'healey boat'but if i brought home this 'beauty' i dont know how many more birthdays id be able to experiance,well my wife and all you know what i mean? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
