hey that was gonna be my boat! just kidding... good luck on the purchase, it was a nice boat and i would have paid what you did but the seller just wasn't there yet. he thought $9k was an insult at the time.... amazing how time on market changes perspective.
enjoy the boat and make sure you check out that stringer, should just be a small fix.
I picked up a 26 Shamrock at an auction so im off the market for now but still want a 222 osprey in the near future.
