Colin, Your post reminded me of a C&C 25 I saw for sale a while back. Similar situation, a boat you can typically get for less than $5k in these parts going for $17.5k. I wasn't surprised to see it's still for sale. Here's a link:
http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1973/C-%26-C-25-2452904/At-our-office-in-Norwalk-CT./CT/United-States Interestingly, now "sale pending". Wonder what it is selling for. But if you add up the work that has gone into this boat (add says over $30k!) and the features (trailer, cover, new sails, probably a new 15 hp 4-stroke outboard), you couldn't replicate it for the asking price. But it's a rare person who will pay $17.5K for a C&C 25, and an even rarer person who will sink $30k into one! The portlights are trimmed in wood, the cockpit floor is wood. I'd love to know the story behind this boat. If anyone knows, please post.

If you're a buyer, it's a great market. If you're a seller, not so much. And fairly often you see boat listings from sellers who didn't get the memo about the price deflation. So last night I'm having dinner at the club and on the bulletin board is an ad for a Mirage 24 (a C&C design). Looks like nice boat with decent upgrades. Ad doesn't specify the year, but let's assume mid-70's. Asking price.... Wait for it..... $25,000! Holy cow!! I can buy half a dozen Mirage 24's for that price and still have money left over.... This must be one special boat...
