Sounds reasonable to me. It really depends on how it shows. I just bought my 82' traditional interior, A4, no furling, but it was in a neglected state, interior and exterior. Even the marina who was selling it told me before I saw it that is was rough. It was offered at $9750 and I paid $4500. I would start at the 10k range and drop down if you have to. Everybody wants to feel like they are getting a deal. One of the insurance companies told me that the value for my boat was about 10k in good condition...Then they told me they don't insure any boat older than 20 yrs old. Go figure.
