This boat just sold in two weeks for asking price:
<http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1985/Catalina-Sloop-2540451/La-Paz%2C-BCS/Mexico>
I know another boat (Valiant 40) that just sold for 1/3 it's value, but
it was in New Zealand, and where do you go from there?
Location Location Location... and positioning the boat for the target
market. That Catalina 36 was well maintained and perfectly for
outfitted for light to medium cruising, set up for someone who wanted to
hang out at the dock in Mexico and entertain but still anchorage-hop
every now and then. I know the old owners, and they maintained it
perfectly. Safety gear, custom awnings, air conditioning, etc. Even
after the sale was closed, he was checking stuff to make sure the new
owner wouldn't have unexpected problems. All I could say was 'Man, I
should buy a boat from you...' Frankly, for the price the new owners
are getting the deal of the century.
I probably couldn't sell Stella Blue for half of that.
