I'd think the Bob Perry number is dated or for the older C28, certainly back before the oil prices escalations post 2004. I'd expect you couldn't touch a new C28MKII for less than $75 and it's more likely $90.

I'm sort of in the market for a new boat, and have just been kinda strolling thru the aisles, looking around. There are a zillion offerings out there and it's probably a great time to buy a boat....a USED boat. I was looking at a new Antrim 27 and all-up, that baby is going to come home at almost 80!!! EIGHTY!! 80 large for a freaking boat you wouldnt want to weekend on!!! (but you'd have fun, at least on a daily basis) SO, when I saw Bob Perry's review saying a C 28 comes in at "comfortably less than 50," well, I guess there's some hope. That sounds like it's at least approaching some sort of reasonable value...although that 50 wouldn't include the grin-factor of the Antrim, you wouldn't need to sell a kidney on eBay. rant over....anyway, I still cant afford either. I'm just amazed at what these things cost in light of what 25 Large will buy you in the automotive realm. Economy of scale, I know. tf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > in 1994 someone I met had just put a deposit down on a 270.
